When <variable> = raw_input ( " please enter a number " )
<variable> = int (<variable>) is run as part of a python script It should take in the user stored input and store it as an integer. Am I correct. The string represented by <variable> in memory is now represented by 5 for example? If this is correct why do I get an error regarding the division of two strings if i type print " < variable> " / < variable>

Please make life easier for all of us by posting real code and real error messages. For example:

>>> a = "cat"
>>> b = 1
>>> print a/b
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'
