I think it's better to always use raw_input(), and then convert the string to the data to work on. Once in a while you may want to use input() to input expressions (like formulas) in your program in a quick, simple and unsafe way... In Python3+ they have removed input() and they have renamed raw_input () as input(). You can have the functionality of 2.x input() with eval (input()). (I think Python3 developers have taken the right choices here). Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
