No, on Python 3 just use input. In Python 2, input() is a dangerous
function that evaluates the entered text and raw_input() is the safe
one; in Python 3, raw_input got renamed to input(). Go ahead and use
input the way Fabio used raw_input.
By the way, there's a handy compact notation for what Fabio wrote:
filename = raw_input('file name: ') or 'your default'
Can be very handy!
