    raise ValueError ("lenght is short")
return (product_idea + "inator")

It's hard to tell what your code actually looks like because it's not formatted here, but if you have all that code on one line thats likely causing the syntax error. I also think you can remove the 

product_idea = (input ("wat is idea "))

and the whole try block at the end. Also your if statement will be true if the product idea length is greater or equal to 3, you want that to be true when the product length is less then 3 so use <
