I don't think I understand the question. If you are prompting your
user to enter an integer from the console, then yes, this is the
general way you should do it, probably wrapped in a try/except block.
You certainly don't have to do it all in one line like that. Instead,
you could split it up into component parts, like this:
prompt = "Please enter a number between 1 and 10:\n"
user_input = raw_input(prompt)
try:
user_number = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
print "You did not enter a number."
