title: How to remove unwanted single quotes
body: <p>I'm new to programming and I stumbled across something unsightly that I would like to remove. Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def test1():
      print "What is your name, traveler?"
      name = raw_input()
      print "Hi %r!" % (name)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>What is your name traveler?
  Hi 'Karatepig'!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get rid of those single quotes around my name?</p>
