Running shutit skeleton throws an error trying to create directory

See original GitHub issue

Hi There,

I am trying to run shutit skeleton and am faced with the following error when pressing enter to confirm the project directory:

>> /home/unitelabs/projects/shutitskel_feeder
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/unitelabs/.virtualenvs/idorsia/bin/shutit", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/unitelabs/.virtualenvs/idorsia/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shutit.py", line 72, in main
    shutit.setup_shutit_obj()
  File "/home/unitelabs/.virtualenvs/idorsia/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shutit_class.py", line 4126, in setup_shutit_obj
    self.parse_args()

    vagrant_image_name=args.vagrant_image_name))
  File "/home/unitelabs/.virtualenvs/idorsia/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shutit_class.py", line 3260, in process_args

    module_directory = shutit_util.util_raw_input(prompt='\n>> ', default=default_dir)
  File "/home/unitelabs/.virtualenvs/idorsia/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/shutit_util.py", line 258, in util_raw_input
    return input(prompt).strip() or default
  File "<string>", line 1
    /home/unitelabs/projects/shutitskel_feeder
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Python: 2.7.12 shutit: 1.0.118

The funny thing is that if I put apostrophe’s (") before and after the values in the prompt then no error is thrown. Are you familiar with this issue?

Awesome! thanks @ianmiell for the swift response, I appreciate it!

I can understand you think you might be biased, but I have to say I agree with you, shutit is likely the tool for me. I will take a look at the link you shared which is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
