I'm pretty new to Python, but this has really bugged me. I can't

The problem is that, when I use raw_input("sajfasjdf") whatever, or
input("dsjfadsjfa"), you can only have numerical values as answers.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Oh, wow. I feel so stupid. Please disregard this message. <_<
No need to apologize...
I read the error message just now a bit more carefully, and I tried
something. I tried defining "yes" as some random numerical value. Then
when I did:
(example code)
yes = 123123983 #some number
test = input("Test test test ")
if test == yes:
print "It worked."
else:
print "failed"
(example code off)
The usual way for Python<3.0 is:
answer = raw_input("Test test test ").lower()
if answer == "yes":
...
The input() function evaluates user input as an expression: if he
types 2+5 the input() function returns the integer 7. I would never
use input() in a program - it's way too unsafe; use always raw_input
instead.
If I use it like that, do I have to import anything to have the
.lower() work? And if I do, what does the .lower() signify?

You don't need to import any module to use ".lower()"; it is a method of
a string. raw_input() returns a string, so you can use methods of a
string.
Try the following statement to see what happens:
"ABCDE".lower()
So the .lower() string method is just to convert the string to lowercase
letters so that you don't have to type a bunch of if - then statements
in both cases, I'm assuming?
