Answer 3

Do not use input please. It's dangerous, and deprecated, and not supported by later versions.

Use raw_input. If you want to take 3 values you can just have it split them up..

line = raw_input('Please enter 3 values separated by spaces: ')
value1, value2, value3 = line.split()

Answer 4

To further what polpak said, I think I remember reading that it is not supported because people can potentially input a malicious script...

Another option would just be to put raw_input in a limited loop, assign the input to a tuple inside the loop. Polpak's suggestion is better though.
