Python: Character name and raw_input [closed]

Question

I have a few lines of code here for Python:

 # Asks for a name
def CC():
    print "..."
    tick.clock(3)
    print "Welcome...\
    What is your name, scared one?"
    name = str(raw_input("What is your name?").lower())
    # For debugging purposes 
    print name

I want to run the code and ask the player what their name is with the line:

  name = str(raw_input("What is your name?").lower())

But every debugger I use online doesn't ask me for my name so i can only assume the code itself is wrong. I'm using Atom on Windows and i cant seem to find any useful run/debugging tools on there. Please send feedback on what it is I'm doing wrong in order to get the name of my character.This is to help in the development of a game I am currently working on.

Also I would appreciate it if you could tell me if there is a useful tool in Atom or online just for my sort of problem.

(P.S) I'm open to what I could do better. Thank you.

Answer 1

I am not an expert on python either, but for some reason tick.clock(3) gives problems.

I also removed str() as it is useless. (Cleaner code is always better)

Try without that line:

# Asks for a name
def CC():
    print "..."
    print "Welcome...\
    What is your name, scared one?"
    name = raw_input("What is your name?").lower()
    # For debugging purposes 
    print name

(Tested on Python 2.7, works). More exactly, Here (PythonTutor, The first debugger I found).

Answer:

# Asks for a gender ( Title )
def CC():
print "..."
print "Welcome...\
What is your gender, scared one?"
name = str(raw_input("What is your gender?").lower())
if name == "boy" :
    name = "Scared boy..."
    print name
elif name == "girl":
    name = "Scared girl..."
    print name
else:
    print "Are you a boy or a girl?"
    return CC()
# Initiates CC formula
CC()
