Sublime Text 2 console input
python, ruby, sublimetext2
Solution
Sublime text doesn't support that. But you can get around it (at least in python) by using SublimeREPL, I use this for everything, it works pretty great. Its a little cooky though, as the tab is still editable like a normal sublime tab (which is good and bad)...
It also allows you to run the interpreter in multiple tabs, its basically awesome.
To install it you need `package control` this lets you easily install plugins. To get it go here, and follow the instructions. Once thats done:
- in Sublime press ctrl + shift + P (linux command in `ST` for 'goto anything').
- Type in 'install',
- click on 'sublime package control: install package'.
- Then select `SublimeREPL`. It will install it automatically.
- To use it go to `Tools>sublimerepl>python` from the menus.
To make the default build system SublimeREPL, you can follow these instructions.
Problem
I use Sublime Text 2 but it won't let me enter any value when my code asks for user input. (In other words: `input()` in Python and `gets` in Ruby fail to correctly prompt me for input). Python throws an `EOFError` error (what you get when user doesn't enter anything). Simply USER INPUT isn't working in Sublime Text 2 for me. EDIT: FOR EXAMPLE ``` try: text = input('Enter something: ') print text except EOFError: print('\nEOFError') => Enter something: #cannot enter anything to var "text" => EOFError => [Finished] ```
