[Tutor] errors in "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner"??

[wesley chun]

input() must be avoided at all costs in Python 2.x. if you find any
Python (2.x) book which employs that, consider the author uninformed.
it is a huge security risk and the main reason why in Python 3
raw_input() is renamed to and replaces input().

cheers,
