What extra should I have done because the variable value came from the
keyboard, and why is it different from the first example?
You can investigate this yourself:
>>> a = 12
>>> a = raw_input("please type 12")
please type 12 12
>>> a = 12
>>> b = raw_input("please type 12: ")
please type 12: 12
>>> a
12
>>> b
'12'
See the difference? Here's more of a clue:
>>> type(a)
<type 'int'>
>>> type(b)
<type 'str'>
