User Input?

[Michael Morrison]

My friend was talking about a programming asignment and I was telling him
about python, so we decided to make programs in our different languages (his
being QBasic :P) ...

Anyway, it dealt with user input, and from only having read Learning Python,
I didn't know how to do it (and still don't).
Is there an easy way to do user input in python?  I found a non-standard
module, but it looked too complicated (not something I'd expect from the
ease-of-use I've had so far).

Example: python blah.py
Name? (type in name)
Address? (type in address)
etc....

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
