Good catch. I would prefer shadowing an unused built-in over using “inp”. Alternatively, “input_” should do fine.

Don't shadow. Just don't. We've got enough variable names in the universe. :)

Strong agree. To clarify, I wouldn't shadow. I wouldn't use “inp” either.

One fairly common convention is to suffix with `_` to avoid shadowing, e.g. `input_`

shadowing is what instantly would have me reject a peer review. there is literally no excuse.

inp is just standard in python, along with uin (user input), or sometimes also raw or iraw.

You cannot win this battle. There is nothing wrong with 'inp'

Please don't shadow ever :(
