In this case, when homedir_exists.py is read in, __name__
will be the name of the module (i.e. "homedir_exists") instead
of "__main__", so the original "checkDir(userlist)" won't be
executed.

Going back to your question, what you want to do is to use the function
raw_input() and compare the input to the strings "1" and "2" (because
that input is a string, remember?). You could use the function int() to
convert the
final_string = fixed_string + user_string.zfill(4)
'a0001'
Note you should think VERY CAREFULLY about any user input like this.
What are you going to do the user gives you too many digits, too few
digits, non-digits?
