Thanks Luke. Saved me quite a headache. I will use in_file instead. Makes more sense anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "luke p" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Nathan Pinno" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2005 7:59 PM Subject: Re: [Tutor] Is input a Python function or command?
why do you want to use input as a variable? did you try testing it on the interactive prompt? >>> input (built-in function input) >>>hello = "test" >>>input() hello "test" so yep it's a builtin function. try to come up with more explanatory names. or just name all your variables "tmp" and "temp" and "x". or you can just overwrite the input function n the namespace. I'm sure some people would consider these approaches evil, however, so you probably shouldn't do it unless your code is for your use only.
