Ok, I know I have done this before, but I can't get input() to work. Here's the transcript of a PythonWin interactive session:
>>> response = input('Write something here.')
*** A dialog box comes up, and I enter the text 'hello' **
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python21\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\app.py", line 362, in Win32Input
return eval(raw_input(prompt))
File "<string>", line 0, in ?
NameError: name 'hello' is not defined
What's up? I get this when running modules, too. It seems to be trying to use the collected input as the name of a variable?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
