Patrick,

The problem is that (most) versions of CE have _no_ console
support whatsoever - meaning no concept of stdin and win32
specific idea of what a command line is (which is why cmd
line args don't work - technically they are available, but
not in a form that the std Python runtime recognizes).

Hopefully this stuff will come together over time - in the
meantime you should look at Mark Hammond's PythonCE work
(in the windows section of www.python.org). I believe that
he has implemented some basic GUI support - you may be able
to use that for input in the short term.
