Not me personally. I guess raw_input must have been used somewhere at
some time for something, or it would have been scrapped in Python 3, not
renamed to input.
Actually, to go off at a tangent, I'm just getting into GUIs via
wxPython. I've discovered there are distinct advantages having to
write endless lines of code just to get a piece of data. For example
on a Sunday it helps pass the time between the two sessions of the
Masters Snooker final being shown on TV.
Fair enough, but what do you do to pass the time _during_ Snooker
being shown on TV?
I can still remember the point in my first trip to the UK when I
accidentally stumbled across darts on TV. Given the endless variety
(and quantity) of pointless crap that people watch here in the US, I
can't really explain why I was so baffled and amused by darts on TV --
but I was.
Just no comparison, darts and snooker. This is excellent though

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
