If statement Python 3.3.4 syntax error

Question

I'm very new to Python and have to make a temperature converter for my class and I have the begining of it here below. It's giving me a syntax error on the Colon and I have tried a semi colon and a comma and have no idea what to do. Like I said brand new to programming so any help at all would be great thanks.

scale = float(input("If you would like to convert to Farenheint, write '1'.     
If you would like to convert to Celcius, write '2'"))                   
if scale == 1 : print("Please print your temperature using numbers only")

Answer 1

I'm getting a syntax error at the end of the float line. I'd recommend changing your quote ( " ) to a triple quote ( """ ), which indicates that you have a block string. Try this:

scale = float(input("""If you would like to convert to Farenheint, write '1'.     
If you would like to convert to Celcius, write '2'"""))
