[PyMOL] How to raw_input() from windows Pymol?

[evangelos p. <eva...@db...>]

Hello all,

   I am using the windows binaries for PyMol. Whereas in Python it is 
easy to do a:
a=raw_input()
When I use PyMol under windows it either gets crashed or halted while I 
am unable to input from keybord. I searched in this email list and I 
found some similar questions but no answer.
I need this for a script that I am writing to get input from the user. 
Is there any way to do that under windows or any other way to 
interactivelly input some data from the keybord into a Pymol script 
under windows? Has any ever done it and could it be that just I have 
some wrong settings in windows or in the way I run the script?  Maybe 
that can be done under linux/unix Pymol and be imposible under windows?
Thank you & Best wishes
/Cheers, Evangelos.
