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

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
