What's wrong in my code

Getting EOFError : EOF when reading a line. Same code is working in IDE

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    return product_idea + "inator"

try:
    product_idea = input("enter string")
    if len(product_idea) < 3:
        raise ValueError 
except ValueError:
    print("Value too small")

For the challenge, you don't need try...except. Just need the following code in the suggest function before returning:

    if len(product_idea) < 3:
        raise ValueError
