Raymond Hettinger <[email protected]> added the comment:
While "shadowing a builtin" was irritating in your case, it is an unavoidable
part of how Python works and is in some cases considered a feature.
FWIW, there is a workaround. You can reference the real input() function
directly in the __builtins__ namespace:
>>> input = 'x'
>>> __builtins__.input('Enter your name: ')
Enter your name: Becky
'Becky'
>>> input
'x'
Also, consider using tools like pylint and flake8 which give warnings in cases
like this.
