Python Input Validation

Python Input Validation is the move from accepting raw user input to checking and shaping it into trustworthy program data. In Brevvie Python + AI — Section 1: Setup Your IDE, this concept appears as soon as the learner starts using input().

Progression in the source

• input() always returns a string.
• Manual conversion with int() and float() is possible but brittle.
• pydantic is introduced as the preferred way to validate typed input cleanly.

Why it matters

This is one of the lesson's first transitions from toy scripts to safer software design.
