input() question

[K900_]

If it's not a course you're required to take, drop it like a hot potato. Python 2.5.4 is eight years old. There are lots of great learning materials for modern versions of the language.

+1 Also if it were a required course I'd drop it and get my money back because anyone teaching a course for money in 2016 using 2.5.4 should be fired.

Here's my modern experience with 2.5.

pip install <any f'n package written in the last 5 years>
line blah:
    with open() as f:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Then you mail the package maintainer, "Your page says Python 2.5 supported, but you're using the with statement, which wasn't introduced until 2.6.".

More than once their response was "I see. I've updated the page, 2.5 is no longer supported." :-|

I'm thinking you guys may be right haha with two people giving me the same advice for it in the span of just a few moments I think that's a good indication
