(I'm surprised nobody responded sooner...) You can use the input()
function, or raw_input() function

>>> print input.__doc__
input([prompt]) -> value

Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).
>>> 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.
