Absolutely not! input() does an eval(), which is very dangerous security-wise and can also lead to rather strange behavior. input() is so bad that it was removed in Python 3 (confusingly, raw_input() was also simultaneously renamed to input(); the point is, there's no longer an equivalent built-in function).
