It is even more complicated:

import sys
print("What is your name?", end='')
name = sys.stdin.readline().strip('\r\n')

Another reason that sys.stdin.readline() is not quite as good as  
raw_input is the
fact that it does not use readline.

+1 from me, I've missed raw_input() while playing with the p3yk  
branch already.
