True! Apologies, I didn't provide a web.ref for that:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html?highlight=print#print


Personal preference: if the prompt-string is somewhat involved (cf "Type 
here: ") per the OP's request, is to assign the calculated value to a 
string variable (object) and then use that in the input(). Such improves 
readability.

That said, that practice can/could/should also be applied in other 
situations, because will it eases testing/proving/debugging that block 
of code!
