Getting type from input() function in Python 3.0
#1
If I want to enter a value of a certain data type other than string class <str> into a an input() function. How can this be done. In Python 2.0, there were two input functions, input() and raw_input. input() return whatever value was entered and raw_input() converted all inputs to str. input() & raw_input were combined into input() in Python 3.0

How can I get the same functionality of Python 2.0's input() function?
For example: display data type of any entered value

data = input("Enter any value:")
print(data, " is of type: ", type(data))
I want to enter 1 and return a data type class <int> for example or the same with list, float, dict
