Not me personally. I guess raw_input must have been used somewhere at
some time for something, or it would have been scrapped in Python 3, not
renamed to input.
Actually, to go off at a tangent, I'm just getting into GUIs via
wxPython. I've discovered there are distinct advantages having to write
endless lines of code just to get a piece of data. For example on a
Sunday it helps pass the time between the two sessions of the Masters
Snooker final being shown on TV.
