Note that a number of these seem to be from people including Python itself within their project [0]. (Arguably, this could also be considered a mistake.) Python 2 defines the input() built-in, which is documented as: >input([prompt]) -> value >Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)). Github is turning up these results because that bit of Python is inside the C code as a string documenting the function. Python 3 does not evaluate what's passed to input(), however. To get the same effect, use eval(input()).
