Python User Input

Python supports user input which means the program pauses to ask the user for input. When the user enters some data and hits enter, Python stores the data in a variable as a string. We do this with the input() function.

Here is an example:

The input() function can show a string to the user, for example, I am showing the prompt “Enter hostname: “. Otherwise, the user might not even notice he or she has to enter something.
