#44656 — python2 input

Hello guys:
Do you have found that the built-in input() function is dangerous.
Here is my code(python 2.x only):

a = input("Input anything:")
print("go here")

If I input:
sys.exit(0)
print("go here") will not be execute, and the script will exit.

Correct. Use raw_input instead.

Yeah, that's kinda discovered. In Python 2, you should be using
raw_input() for that kind of thing. In Python 3, raw_input() was
renamed to input(), and if you want the semantics of Py2 input(), it's
eval(input()), which makes it obvious what's going on.
