Python3.x中input的变化：input函数默认返回字符串类型

背景：学习《Python基础教程第2版》，第10.3章 标准库：一些最爱 时，

运行如下例子：

用户选择投掷的骰子数以及每个骰子具有的面数，随机返回骰子的点数，代码如下：

from random import randrange

num = input('How many dice? ')

sides = input('How many sides per die? ')

sum = 0

for i in range(num):sum += randrange(sides) + 1

print( 'The result is ',sum)
    

运行之后报如下错误：

=================== RESTART: D:/Python/my_program/dice.py ===================
How many dice? 3
How many sides per die? 6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/Python/my_program/dice.py", line 21, in <module>
    for i in range(num):sum += randrange(sides) + 1
