I guess you are using Python v2.x since you are using raw_input(). So have you checked the python documentation yet? That is usually a good place to start for Built-in functions such as raw_input().

Here is a link to the documentation:
http://docs.python.o....html#raw_input

It gives you an explanation of what it does and all the arguments that are passed to it. It also shows a few examples that should help.

#!/usr/bin/python3
name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print ('Hello', name)

This is probably the simplest way to answer your question. *Take note I am using Python 3*

#!/usr/bin/python3

This is called a shebang line *Explanation*

name = input('Please enter your name: ')

This is a simple input. In python 3 there is no raw_input. *More info*

print ('Hello', name)

This simply prints 'Hello' and the name of the user which we assigned to variable 'name'. *More Info,*

I hope that I assisted in some way

Perhaps it didn't occur to you why we would refer a user to documentation rather than spoon feeding them... There's an analogy regarding fishing, you should research it. See what I did there?
