I was just trying to use raw_input in a python program when I got this strange message.
The program:
message = input("Want to see something?") The output:
'module' object has no attribute 'raw_input' Any help would make me very happy.

It depends on your version of Python. If you're using Python 2, you should use raw_input:
>>> raw_input("Want to see something? ") Want to see something? Yeah! 'Yeah!' As in Python 3, you should use input:
>>> raw_input("Want to see something? ") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined >>> input("Want to see something? ") Want to see something? Yeah! 'Yeah!' As you can see in the documentation, both do the exact same thing, just the name changed.
