Conversion of kilometers to miles

This is a program that converts kilometers to miles however, every time I run it there is no line asking for an input, as it is supposed to, instead it is always blank.

Here is the code: 

KILOMETERS_TO_MILES =float(0.6214)

def main():
    Distance = input("please input the distance in kilometers to wish to convert:"))
    showMiles(Distance)

def showmiles(Distance):
    miles = Distance * KILOMETERS_TO_MILES
    print=("Conversion of ", Distance,"kilometers to miles: ", miles, "miles")

main()

Looks like part of the problem comes from your third line. I have noticed you have two closing brackets '))' yet you only have one opeining '('. '..

This should work:

KILOMETERS_TO_MILES = 0.621371

def show_miles(Distance):
    miles = Distance * KILOMETERS_TO_MILES
    print('Conversion of {} kilometers to miles: {} miles'.format(Distance, miles))

def main():
    Distance = float(input("please input the distance in kilometers you wish to convert: "))
    show_miles(Distance)

main()

Your original code had several problems:

KILOMETERS_TO_MILES =float(0.6214)

def main():
    # You have an extra closing ')' on the next line
    Distance = input("please input the distance in kilometers to wish to convert: "))
    showMiles(Distance)  # this showMiles has an upper case 'M'

def showmiles(Distance):  # this showmiles has a lower case 'm'
    miles = Distance * KILOMETERS_TO_MILES
    # You have an = sign on the next line that shouldn't be there
    print=("Conversion of ", Distance,"kilometers to miles: ", miles, "miles")

main()
