>>> print raw_input.__doc__
raw_input([prompt]) -> string
Read a string from standard input. The trailing newline is stripped.
If the user hits EOF (Unix: Ctl-D, Windows: Ctl-Z+Return), raise EOFError.
On Unix, GNU readline is used if enabled. The prompt string, if given,
is printed without a trailing newline before reading.
>>> name = raw_input("Enter your name: ")
Enter your name: Emile
>>> name
'Emile'
>>>
