Summary: std::cout << "Statement\n"; is print "Statement" std::cin << value; is value = raw_input() std::cout << "Prompt:" std::cin << value; is value = raw_input("Prompt:") It's a little assymetrical, but useful. Lower-level functions also exist in the sys module as stdin, stdout and stderr. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
