Hi,
I got your message, but my email reader messed up the indenting.
From what you wrote, it sounds like you have the indenting all working fine.
You only missed one line. Right after the line that contains sys.exit(), you need to allow the input field (ip) to handle the event. Therefore all you need is to add this line after that one:
ip.handleEvent(event)
Adding that line will allow you to type into the field and have the characters show up.
As an alternative, you could allow the user to press Enter/Return or press the button. To do that you can have this code inside the "for" loop:
if ip,handleEvent(event) or but.handleEvent):
User pressed submit or pressed enter
user_input = ip.getText() print(user_input)
Hope that helps.

Below is the code that I used. After reading your doc, I created this little trial. Each pygwidget appears, the focus is given to the InputText pygwidget. The cursor is seen blinking in the box but typing does not enter any characters. Tried ip.enable() without any . change. I haven't found anything about whether this still works or not. What am I doing wrong? Thank you Michael
