Input problem

[Ivan Ševčík]

I am started a weeak ago with python, and yesterday I wodnloaded for my mobile.
However I feel that something got wrong. The problem is that when I run a script on computer that requires input, prints something and agains require input (that second just prevents from script closing before reading output), i get what I want - example :
Enter value10
10
Enter for exit

That's not the case with pythonCE. It creates dialog, I enter value, nothing is printed out and I am again prompted for exit. I find that quite strange as it's the very same code and it acts like after input is output or all commands ignored.
My code:
x = input("Enter value")
print x
raw_input("Enter for exit")

Thanks for help as this is an issue I can't move along with..

Hello, Ivan.

Welcome to PythonCE. From your message, I think your script is probably
working fine. The problem is that blasted dialog, which is covering your
output. A very simple workaround is to add a few blank lines before printing
your x value, so that it appears below the dialog (I know this works on a
PDA, but maybe the screen size is different on a mobile phone?). Your code
might look like:

x = input("Enter value")
print 10*"\r\n" # prints 10 blank lines
print x
raw_input("Enter for exit")

Alternatively, you might want to add a short pause before the exit:

import time
x = input("Enter value")
print x
time.sleep(2) # wait 2 seconds
raw_input("Enter for exit")
