Say I have a simple script that depends on my input:
w = input()
print(f'Input is {w}')
If I copy and paste this script (both lines at the same time) into the interactive window, it won't pause on input line to receive an input.
>>> w = input()
print(f'Input is {w}')
>>>
Is there any way to change this behavior?
Update: This seems to work just fine on Pycharm:
In: w = input()
print(f'Input is {w}')
>? test
Input is test
You could use IPython, which supports pasting blocks:
In [1]: w = input()
...: print(f'Input is {w}')
a
Input is a
Just in case that doesn't work, you could use the command %paste to load and execute the clipboard contents, or %cpaste so that you can paste manually:
In [2]: %paste
w = input()
print(f'Input is {w}')
## -- End pasted text --
b
Input is b
In [4]: %cpaste
Pasting code; enter '--' alone on the line to stop or use Ctrl-D.
:w = input()
:print(f'Input is {w}')
:--
ERROR! Session/line number was not unique in database. History logging moved to new session 1903
c
Input is c
(I'm not sure what this error means BTW, though I notice the "In" number ticked up once more than it should have.)
