Python AttributeError: 'NoneType'

Question

I am doing some code for a flash Card quiz, however when I am running the program it says TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable in this line:

letter = print("Enter letter of your choice (A B C): ").upper()

my code is way to long to fit as a comment what should i do? — user3371645, Mar 05 '14 at 23:50
it says this is the wrong line of code... letter = print("Enter letter of your choice (A B C): ").upper() — user3371645, Mar 05 '14 at 23:52
The line you show won't generate the error you refer to (though it will generate a different error). Can you paste the whole error message, with the full traceback? — Blckknght, Mar 06 '14 at 00:28

print is used for printing text, not for text inputs.

To make a text input, use input (or raw_input if you use Python 2):

letter = input("Enter letter of your choice (A B C): ").upper()

thanks ive changed it to input. now it is saying...UnboundLocalError: local variable 'input' referenced before assignment – user3371645 Mar 06 '14 at 00:01
Do you have any variable named `input` in your code? If yes, rename it, there is a name conflict with the builtin `input` function. – Valentin Lorentz Mar 06 '14 at 00:03
ill take a quick look now... – user3371645 Mar 06 '14 at 00:07
at the start of the program i put "input = raw_input" – user3371645 Mar 06 '14 at 00:08

I think your try to assign the output of 'print' to a variable causes the error.
