raw input function in Python

Question

What is the raw_input function? Is it a user interface? When do we use it?

Answer 1

raw_input was used in Python 2 version but for latest Python 3 and higher versions input does the job of raw_input.
Also  in raw_input argument is passed in the form of string. raw_input will give a name error in Python 3 
raw_input does not covert input and take it as it is provided by the user.

Example of input() in Python 3

Your_name = input("What is your name? ")
print ("Hi, %s." % Your_name)

Output

What is your name? Tia
Hi, Tia.
