Python - What's wrong with this? I keep getting a error

I have written this number guessing game in python 3.4.1. This program was working but I opened it show somebody and I got this error, I only finished writing it yesterday.

I keep getting the following error:

Would you like to play again?[Y/N] n
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Documents\Guessing Game.py", line 130, in <module>
    end()
  File "C:\Users\Documents\Guessing Game.py", line 97, in end
    input('\nYou scored a total of',score,'points!\n')
TypeError: input expected at most 1 arguments, got 3

This is my code:

#imports required modules
import random

#score set as global variable with the value 0
global score
score = 0

def start():
    #askes if user needs rules
    rules = input('Would you like to read the rules?(Y/N) ')
    #if yes rules are printed
    if rules.lower() == 'y':
        #prints inctructions 
        input('\t\t\t\t\tRules\n')
        input("Guess the number the computer is thinking of to win but you only have 3 lives.")
        input("\nStart by choosing the range of numbers the computer can choose from.")
        input("""For example if I wanted a number between 1 and 10 I would type 1 for
lowest number and 10 for highest number.""")
        input("""\nThe more lives you have left when you win the more points you get.
    The larger the range of numbers you give the computer
    the larger your score multipler.""")
        input("\nIt can be harder than you think!")
        input("\n\t\t\t\t\tEnjoy!")
    #if not player is aksed to play
    play = input("\nWould you like to play?(Y/N) ")
    if play.lower() == 'n':
        #if they don't game quits
        quit()

#main game code
def main():
    global low
    global up
    #generates number at random between the users two inputs
    comp_num = random.randint(low,up)
    #score set as global variable within function
    global score
    #lives created
    lives = 3
    while lives >= 1:
        #player guesses
        guess = int(input('Guess: '))
        if comp_num == guess:
            #if correct says well done
            print('\nWell Done! You guessed Correctly!')
            #1 live left player gets 5 points
            if lives == 1:
                score += 5
                print('\nYou scored 5 points!\n')
            #2 lives left player gets 10 points
            elif lives == 2:
                score += 10
                print('\nYou scored 10 points!\n')
            #3 lives left player gets 15 points
            elif lives == 3:
                score += 15
                print('\nYou scored 15 points!\n')
            break
        elif comp_num >= guess:
            #if guess is too low tells player
            #one live taken for incorrect guess
            lives = lives -1
            print('\nToo low!\n')
            #player is told how many lives they have left
            print('You guessed incorrectly. You have',lives,'live(s) remaining.\n')

                    print('The number I was thinking of was...',comp_num,'!\n')
        elif comp_num <= guess:
            #if guess is too high tells player
            #one live taken for incorrect guess
            lives = lives -1
            print('\nToo high!\n')
            #player is told how many lives they have left
            print('You guessed incorrectly. You have',lives,'live(s) remaining.\n')

def end():

        #prints score
        input('\nYou scored a total of',score,'points!\n')
        #prints mulipler
        input('You Multipler is',multi,'!')
        #calculates total score
        total =float(score * multi)
        #prints total score
        input('\nYour final score is',total,'!')
        input('\nPress enter to exit')

#calls intial game function to start
start()

#lower number set as global and value of user input
global low
low = int(input('\nLowest number: '))
#lower number set a global and value of user input
global up
up = int(input('Hightest number: '))

#sets up the score mulitpler
rang = float(up - low + 1)
multi = float(rang/4)
#if the multipler is less then 1 it gets sent to 1 so it doesn't remove points
if multi < 1:
    multi = 1

#starts atcual game
print('\nI\'m thinking of a number guess what it is...\n')

#calls main section of game
main()

#calls end of game to give option of playing again and resetting game
end()

Please help me I can't seem to work out why I get this error.

The error message tells you what's wrong. You're passing three arguments to input, which only expects one argument, for the prompt. I suspect you changed line 97 from

print('\nYou scored a total of',score,'points!\n')

to

input('\nYou scored a total of',score,'points!\n')

The print function does take multiple arguments, which is why it worked before.

To fix the problem, you can change back to print, or you can use string formatting:

input('\nYou scored a total of %i points!\n' % score)

or

input('\nYou scored a total of {0} points!\n'.format(score))

input does indeed take only one argument. I suspect you meant to use print there and in the following three lines.
