Me too :-) I would like to see both input and raw_input preserved. Replacing these with more complicated (from pedagogical perspective) methods would probably give an additional reason for educators to look at alternative languages, such as Ruby. There were questions in this list of the appropriateness of the names of the two functions. To me, the names of input and raw_input seem just fine. One can tell students that the input function is more general and interprets the input character sequence as a Python expression, finally delivering its value. In contrast, raw_input is simpler and interprets nothing - simply delivers the input string as a character string. It is logical. Just my ten cents.
