Elif statmenet in Python issue

What I have tried:

I am following an example code to do an Elif statement:

amount = int(input("Enter amount: "))

if amount<1000:
discount = amount*0.05
print ("Discount",discount)
else:
discount = amount*0.10
print ("Discount",discount)

print ("Net payable:",amount-discount)

However when I type the first line of code in
Instead of being able to type the second line in which begins with the if statement
I get asked the questions as if I was the user which appears like this

amount = int(input("Enter amount: "))
Enter amount:

There is something wrong, please I need guidance.

amount = int(input("Enter amount: "))

if amount < 1000:
    discount = amount*0.05
    print("Discount", discount)
else:
    discount = amount*0.10
    print("Discount", discount)

print("Net payable:", amount-discount)

There isn't anything particularly wrong with the code itself from what I can see unless you aren't using white space. Something that could be wrong is that you're not actually editing a python file. From what you've said do you happen to be in the python IDLE shell?
