title: How to check if input is text
body: <p>Hi all I am pretty new to python coding but have recently stumbled upon a problem, when asking people for names the program will allow numbers, is there a simple way to fix this.</p>
  
  <p>My code is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print("what is your name?")
  
  name=input()
  
  print("thank you",name,".")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not entirely sure that is the exact code but it does those three things. Thank you and sorry it is a bit basic. Also I am using 3.3.2 I think.</p>
