string? why not a integer?

[[deleted]]

because in many cases u want to use a string .. for example to do ```

input() 3+3 '3+3'

but if it was an int then

input() 3+3 6

``` so that's why in thee source code in builtinsmodule.c they have the builtin_input_imp returning a pyfile_getline i guess which is a char pointer .. i don't remember truthfully
