Python: How to print text inputed by user?

My code is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/python
#Filename:2_7.py
text=raw_input("Enter string:")
for ?? in range(??)
    print

For example, if the user enters test text, I want test text to be printed on the screen by this code.

What should I write instead of ?? to achieve this purpose?

Maybe you want something like this?

var = raw_input("Enter something: ")
print "you entered ", var

Or in Python 3.x

var = input("Enter something: ")
print ("you entered ", var)

Well, for a simplistic case, you could try:

for word in text.split(" "):
    print word

For a more complex case where you want to use a regular expression for a splitter:

for word in re.split("\W+", text):
    if word != "":
        print word

The earlier example will output "Hello, my name is Pax." as:

Hello,
my
name
is
Pax.

while the latter will more correctly give you:

Hello
my
name
is
Pax

(and you can improve the regex if you have more edge cases).

Do you want to split the string into separate words and print each one?

e.g.

for word in text.split():
    print word

in action:

Enter string: here are some words
here
are
some
words
