The various possibilities mentioned in various forums include:
ask() askuser() getstring() input() # rejected by BDFL prompt() read() userinput() getresponse()
why not call it "readline", and define it as

return sys.stdin.readline()?
if you include the definition in the docstring, you get a nice little lead-in to a discussion about modules and object access syntax.
