a NONE in the output

Sorry, I would like users to input a letter but I dun understand why the display will show a None.

import random
hangmanList = {"fruit":["apple","banana","orange"]}
topicList = ["fruit"]
randomTopic = random.choice(topicList)
wordList = hangmanList[randomTopic]
questionList = random.choice(wordList)

def main():
    print("Welcome to the Hangman Game")
    print("---------------------------")
    print("Please choose 1 letter at a time")
    print("Topic is: ",randomTopic)
    guesses = input(print("Guesses: "))

main()

the output shows:

Welcome to the Hangman Game

Please choose 1 letter at a time

Topic is: fruit

Guesses: None

Should be 

guesses = input('Guesses: ')

Currently it is None because the print() function does not return a value, thus it's result is None. So 

guesses = input(print('Guesses: ')) 
# is
guesses = input(None)

Just use:

guesses = input("Guesses: ")

print returns None. input prints its argument as a prompt.
