[Kishore Aadada]

New submission from Kishore Aadada <kishorekotesh678 at gmail.com>:

When i used input as a variable name, there is no error provided. After that I am calling input() function to read data. In such case, below error is reported.

Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed8, Oct  3 2017, 17:26:49) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> input = "Test input"
>>> data = input("Please enter some input")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    data = input("Please enter some input")
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
