Aha! I hadn't thought of that interpretation. You want to understamd 
how the function is actually written? As Karl says you can read 
the C source code or conceptually think of it as being a little 
like this:

def raw_input(prompt):
   print prompt,
   return sys.stdin.readline()
   
Its actually a wee bit cleverer than that I think, but so far as 
we the users go its pretty close.

Does that help?
