This is another interpretation of Eric's task. This time in functional way, python incarnation.

import itertools, sys 
[sys.stdout.write('%s) Hello, %s\n' % tuple(reversed(item))) \
    for item in itertools.izip(
        itertools.repeat(raw_input('Please enter your name: ')),
        xrange(int(raw_input('Please enter your age: '))))]

Use izip
I suggest you to add 'and True' into the end of expression

I know about izip, but leave 'zip' in favour of simplicity.
