I get Traceback (most recent call last) each time I run this code, how to fix this?

Question

I run this code on PyCharm 2.7 and each time I enter an input as a name I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Korisnik/PycharmProjects/untitled/Program test.py", line 4, in <module>
    character_name = input("Select a name for your character: ")
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'aaa' is not defined

Process finished with exit code 1

Is there any way to fix this? I am a beginner in python scripting so an explanation on how to fix this would be great.

This is my code:

print("-- Story generator by Mateo Primorac --")

character_name = input("Select a name for your character: ")
character_age = input("Select the age for your character: ")
character_gender = input("Select a gender for your character: ")
character_color = input("Select your characters favorite color: ")

if character_gender == "male" or "Male":
    print("There was once a man called " + character_name + ",")
    print("He is " + character_age + " years old.")
    print("He likes wearing " + character_color + " shirts and pants because that is his favorite color.")
    print("Press space or enter to exit.")
    input()
    quit()

if character_gender == "female" or "Female":
    print("There was once a woman called " + character_name + ",")
    print("She is " + character_age + " years old.")
    print("She likes wearing " + character_color + " shirts and dresses because that is her favorite color.")
    print("Press space or enter to exit.")
    input()
    quit()

Answer 1

If this is Python 2, you need to use raw_input instead of input . (Or switch to Python 3)

Answer 2

Change the "OR" to "AND" and run in python 3

You can use this website for python 3

repl.it

Here is your code: https://repl.it/repls/DarkvioletRealLocatorprogram#main.py

Answer 3

Use raw_input in place of input in python2 . Ex:- character_name = raw_input("Select a name for your character: ")
