Why do i get a EOFError with this Python Code?

This is my code:

user1 = "John Smith"

rank1 = "Colonel"

joined1 = "N/A"

user2 = "Jack Smith"

rank2 = "Captain"

joined2 = "Apr 19, 2014"

user3 = "Dexter Smith"

rank3 = "Major"

joined3 = "Apr 21, 2014"

var = var_input("Please enter the first name of your target: ")

if var == "John Smith":

print "Name: %s" % user1

print "Rank: %s" % rank1

print "Date Joined: %s" % joined1

if var == "Jack Smith":

print "Name: %s" % user2

print "Rank: %s" % rank2

print "Date Joined: %s" % joined2

if var == "Dexter Smith":

print "Name: %s" % user3

print "Rank: %s" % rank3

print "Date Joined: %s" % joined3

It relies on user input with raw_input. But i keep getting an EOF Error for rar_input? Why is this?
