Trying to capture raw_input to use later

I am trying to make a def function that uses ra_input, and the data is to be used outside the function. The function is to be called many times.

var1=""
var2=""
theresult=""
def getstuff():
    theresult = raw_input("Enter your result")
print "Here is the result:"

print theresult

no result appears. Tried return, and tried return(), and tried return result, and tried return(result), anyone help?? Also why the box below unformatted when I type the question??

Here are codes that should do the job.

def getstuff():

theresult = raw_input("Enter your result:  ")
return theresult

def main():

var1 = " "
var2 = " "

theresult = getstuff()

print "Here is the result: "

print theresult

main()

The cleanest way would probably be:

def getstuff():
    return raw_input("Enter your result")

theresult = getstuff()
print theresult

Another option would be to use global, but I don't think it would be justified here.
