Does that mean input() is obsolete (after all, Zelle's book is not the freshest on the shelf)? Or do they have different uses?

They have different uses and input is very convenient at the >>> prompt
or when experimenting but in most cases is the wrong choice for
'production'; code because of its vulnerability to exploitation by
crackers and other malicious (or unintentionally malign) users.
