I'm pretty new to Python, but this has really bugged me. I can't find a

The problem is that, when I use raw_input("sajfasjdf") whatever, or
input("dsjfadsjfa"), you can only have numerical values as answers.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Oh, wow. I feel so stupid. Please disregard this message. <_<
No need to apologize...
I read the error message just now a bit more carefully, and I tried
something. I tried defining "yes" as some random numerical value. Then
when I did:
(example code)
yes = 123123983 #some number
test = input("Test test test ")
if test == yes:
print "It worked."
else:
print "failed"
(example code off)
The usual way for Python<3.0 is:
answer = raw_input("Test test test ").lower()
if answer == "yes":
...
The input() function evaluates user input as an expression: if he types 2+5 the
input() function returns the integer 7. I would never use input() in a program
- it's way too unsafe; use always raw_input instead.
If I use it like that, do I have to import anything to have the .lower()
work? And if I do, what does the .lower() signify?
