If you are using python2.x then its raw_input()

In Linux if you want to use Python v3 the name of the command is
python3. The python command is always Python v2.

As a "good practice", it's best to put your 'imports' at the top of your script (after the shebang line)

Not always. Like Arch Linux is a continuous release and
python is python3.x, where you have to specify python2 to call python2.x.
