"The Python documentation is not that great of a resource for beginners."
Agreed. However, it is useful for technical definitions and distinctions.You will notice that the link was explicitly made in response to your statement of the technical definition of Python 2's input() function: eval(raw_input(prompt))
While it certainly may exist, I have yet to see a beginner's guide to Python that presents the above definition. Could you give us a link to one onpon4?
