C:\>python
Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> help(input)
Help on built-in function input in module __builtin__:

input(...)
     input([prompt]) -> value

     Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).

 >>> help(raw_input)
Help on built-in function raw_input in module __builtin__:

raw_input(...)
     raw_input([prompt]) -> string

     Read a string from standard input.  The trailing newline is stripped.
     If the user hits EOF (Unix: Ctl-D, Windows: Ctl-Z+Return), raise 
EOFError.
     On Unix, GNU readline is used if enabled.  The prompt string, if given,
     is printed without a trailing newline before reading.

Where the hell did you get the idea of stacking input on a raw_input in 
the first place?
