input function not behaving as expected.. Why?

Question

>>> input("Enter a number: ")
Enter a number: goodtogo

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#48>", line 1, in <module>
input("Enter a number: ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'goodtogo' is not defined

>>> input("Enter a number: ")
Enter a number: 5
5

Answer 1

That's strange. My IDLE gives me following:

>>> input("Enter a number: ")
Enter a number: goodtogo
'goodtogo'
