Try this.

num = int(input("Please enter a number:"))
output = (10 ** 3) * num
print(output)

When you multiply a str by an int, the string repeats:

>>> "foobar" * 10
'foobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobar'

You're multiplying the string "9" by the number 1000, meaning you get a string of one thousand "9"s.

If you want to multiply the number 9 by the number 1000, that would look more like:

num = int(input("Please enter a number:"))
n1 = 10**3
print(n1*num)
