Help on built-in function input in module __builtin__:

input(...)
 input([prompt]) -> value
 
 Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).

>>> help(eval)
Help on built-in function eval in module __builtin__:

eval(...)
 eval(source[, globals[, locals]]) -> value
 
 Evaluate the source in the context of globals and locals.
 The source may be a string representing a Python expression
 or a code object as returned by compile().
 The globals must be a dictionary and locals can be any mapping,
 defaulting to the current globals and locals.
 If only globals is given, locals defaults to it.

可以把list,tuple,dict和string相互轉(zhuǎn)化。
