Hi, I'm just learning the very basics of python and I ran into this problem in version 3.0/3000: >>>x = input("x: ") x: 36 >>> y = input("y: ") y: 42 >>> print (x*y) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> print (x*y) TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str' But when I run the same code with Python 2.6.1 it does prints the result.
In Python 3.0, the 2.x input() function, which evaluates the string, was removed, and the 2.x raw_input() function, which just returns the string that was entered, was renamed to input().
Is there any special function that I should add in order to work properly under Python 3.0?
