Best way to wait for string input

Hi guys,

Python newbie here for some expert help. So basically I want to design
a menu system that waits for a string input. I'm not sure what the
best way of going about this is. The current system waits for a single
character input using msvcrt.kbhit( ) and msvcrt.getch( ). Is there
something equivalent to wait for string inputs?

The builtin `raw_input()`?
