for a in range(1,1000):
    for b in range(1,1000):
        for c in range(1,1000):
            if b>a and c and c>b:
                if c**2==b**2+a**2:
                    print((a,b,c))

Output:

(3, 4, 5)
(5, 12, 13)
(6, 8, 10)
(7, 24, 25)
(8, 15, 17)
(9, 12, 15)
(9, 40, 41)
(10, 24, 26)
(11, 60, 61)
(12, 16, 20)
(12, 35, 37)
(13, 84, 85)
(14, 48, 50)
(15, 20, 25)
(15, 36, 39)
(15, 112, 113)
... (goes on)

team_name = input("What is the team name:")
points = "How many points did %s score" #%s is the variable
points_print = input(points % (team_name))

This is an easy way to fix your problem, use '%s' to call your variable, it will look better when printed.

Here's a python3.6 way of doing this:

points = input(f"How many points did {team_name} score?")

What error are you getting?

I'm fairly confident your problem is that you are passing three parameters to input on the second line, instead of concatenating the strings which I think you're trying to do here.

Try:

points = input("How many points did " + str(team_name) + " score?")
