I get the curious feeling this is homework.  You would need to do one of 
two things:
Pass the output of raw_input as an argument or rewrite your functions so 
that instead of taking the temperature as a parameter, it asks in the 
body of the function for a temperature. In either case, you will run 
into a little TypeError, easily fixed however.
