I think you're confusing the tutorial's use of: int(raw_input(... which means "get a string from the user and turn it into an integer" (a very common idiom), with your use of: input(raw_input(... which means "get a string from the user and use it as a prompt to get any value from the user" (a very peculiar usage). The difference between `int' and `input' is rather enormous. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
