Next, we need to ask the user for input.

name = raw_input("What's your name?") print name

In the above example, raw_input() accepts a string, prints it, and then waits for the user to type something and press Enter (or Return).

In the interpreter, Python will ask:

What's your name?

Once you type in your name and hit Enter, it will be stored in name.
