title: 'x' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
body: <p>I'm trying to write something that checks if an integer (z) is within the bounds of x and y, x being the minimum number, y being the maximum. I do this by checking if z is less than the minimum number or more than the maximum number. If either of those are true it returns invalid, else it confirms it. The maximum, minimum and number to check values are determined by raw_input. Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int(x = raw_input('x:\n')) #max number
  int(y = raw_input('y:\n')) #min number
  int(z = raw_input('z:\n')) #number to check.
  if z &lt; y:
      print 'invalid.'
  elif z &gt; x :
      print 'invalid.'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can enter the x value fine, but when I try to enter the y value, I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:/Python27/random/bark", line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
      int(y = raw_input('y:\n')) #min number
  TypeError: 'y' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I've asked elsewhere without answer.</p>
