#the code works fine for me , maybe there were indentation problems
#also, there was no need for variable validInput
while True:
    names = input("Enter input string:")
    if names == "q":
        break
    while "," not in names:
        print ("Error: No comma in string.")
        names = input("Enter input string:") # Check for q to terminate
        if names == "q":
            exit(0)
    s = names.split(",")
    print ("First word:",s[0].strip())
    print ("Second word:",s[1].strip())
    print ("
")
