in First-time course creation

Hello everyone!
I'm creating my first course now about Python Fundamentals.
And I've struggled on creating a coding exercise.

I've made up a simple program that helps my students to understand Input() function:
name = input()
print(name)

It works everywhere, But not on Udemy.

There is an error:

Error
Error details
EOF when reading a line


Tell me, please, how to work with input() function on Udemy.
Thanks in advance!

    You may also have to teach your students try/except EARLY ON because you are going to need to put your input function in a try/except and except on 

    EOFError

    It is in the input function docs or search Stackoverflow for your problem.
