Use of input function doesn't return. Maybe foresee alternative/overridden input method.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to use the input function from the interactive window
2. name = input("what is your name ?")
3. this leaves the prompt, and we don't return to the prompt after hitting 
enter. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:
>>> name = input("what is  your name ?")
what is  your name ? wim
>>> print name
wim

or
name = input("what is your name ? ")
-> an input dialog pops up to get the input. when leaving the dialog the progam 
continues or interactive interpretor prompt is returned. 

Instead
>>> name = input("what is  your name ?")
what is  your name ? wim
(no mechanism to "return"). 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9 / linux ubuntu 

Please provide any additional information below.

I had never tried input (or raw_input) in pynguin before. Thanks for the report.

I like the idea of having a function that can pop up a dialog... but I think it 
should probably also work as normal at the interactive prompt.

input() and raw_input() sort of work in latest push.

Still need to figure out how to get correct keys. Maybe read text directly from 
TextEdit when input is finished.

input() and raw_input() work now.

If you want a separate way to have a dialog box pop up for input,
please start a new bug for an enhancement.
