"name": "Why you should beware of Python 2\u2019s input() function",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Python 2’s version of the input() function was unsafe because the interpreter would actually execute the string returned by the function before the calling program had any opportunity to verify it. This allowed a malicious user to inject arbitrary code into the program.
\nBecause of this issue, Python 2 also provided the raw_input() function as a much safer alternative, but there was always the risk that an unsuspecting programmer might choose the more obviously-named input().
\nPython 3 renamed raw_input() to input() and removed the old, risky version of input(). In this tutorial, you’ll use Python 3, so this pitfall won’t be a concern.
