I've been trying to figure out how to use raw_input()/input() in an IDLE
session. For me, the *Output* window seems to not respond to input, and
someone else has reported getting EOF from it. I'm using IDLE 0.5 under a
Linux system.
Here's the sample program:
###
print "Hello world!"
x = input()
print "Here's what x has:", x
###
And a partial output:
###
Hello world!
42
# but nothing happens.
###
Does anyone know if these input functions work well in IDLE? Thanks for
any help on this.
