[Tutor] python problems on android

[blechnum at fireflyuk.net]

Ok. Will try and explain the problem.
I wrote a script in python and found I could use it on my android 
phone with SL4a.
It was really useful.
Haven't used it for a few months.
A few days ago I decided to improve it and found it no longer works.
the problem seems to be that when it reaches an input statement it 
will only accept a number.
If I try to input a letter I get an error message the same as if I had 
just typed the letter into the command line.
I am not sure what has happened, it used to work ok.

Is there another way of getting input into my script without 
using.....input?

Or better still does anyone understand what is going wrong?
