Error parsing data from XML python "NameError: name 'XXX' is not defined"

Code: Parsing some data from an XML file as , taking user input and trying to replace a sub-string in the text parsed from the XML file. (This is for a upcoming HID attack framework https://github.com/SkiddieTech/HIDAAF, part of my offensive computer security degree)

def Generate_Payload(payload):
      print " Selection : " , payload
      import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
      payload_raw = ET.parse(payload).getroot().find('payload').text                
      print payload_raw
      shell_name = input("Please enter the name of your malicious apk :")                   
      payload_raw_filtered = payload_raw.replace('#APKNAME#', shell_name)                   
      print payload_raw_filtered
      os.system('pause')

Error:

           Please enter the name of your malsivus apk :apk
            Traceback (most recent call last):

              File "C:\Users\Master\Documents\GitHub\HIDAAF\hidaaf.py", line 18, in Generate_Payload
                shell_name= input("Please enter the name of your malicious apk :")
              File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

You are probably using python 2. Use raw_input instead of input.

input is for entering actual python code, so it's complaining that the variable with name apk is not defined.

This is not the case in python 3.
