I'm new to python too, but I've read that sys.stdin.readline() is
preferred. Is that right?

 Thanks in advance!

input takes the user-entered string and evaluates it as a Python
expression. You want raw_input().

os.mkdir simple help

2006-02-18 Thread m . wanstall 
Hi there,

I'm totally new to Python and was wondering why I was getting an error
for this. I'm just trying to create a folder based on user input:

import os

def setupProject(project):
os.mkdir(project)
os.chdir(project)

test = input(Please enter project name: )
setupProject(test)

If I enter roger as my input I get : NameError: name 'roger' is not
defined

I know it's incredibly simple but help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
