Correcting SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

New to python as of a few days ago. Trying to write a simple calculator program but when I run it, I get a SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing error when I input a '+' for choosing my operator. I am stuck on why this is happening and think it may be due to my spaces vs tabs? Can anyone help me?

num1 = int(input('pick number 1: '))
num2 = int(input('pick number 2: '))

choose = str(input('Pick an operator: '))

if (choose == '+'):
    print add(num1, num2)
elif (choose == '-'):
    print sub(num1, num2)
elif (choose == '*'):    
    print mult(num1, num2)
else:
    print div(num1, num2)

def div(num1, num2):
    return num1 / num2    

def add(num1, num2):
    return num1 + num2

def mult(num1, num2):
    return num1 * num2

def sub(num1, num2):
    return num1 - num2

`input()` in Python 2 tries to run the input as a Python expression. `+` is not a valid, complete expression. Use `raw_input()` instead. – Martijn Pieters Nov 14 '16 at 16:06
@MartijnPieters Thank you. Would this script have run in Python 3? – Rivers31334 Nov 14 '16 at 16:12
No, you can simply use `raw_input()` everywhere you use `input()`. – Martijn Pieters Nov 14 '16 at 16:13
