Using raw_input and %debug in the Notebook

The Notebook has added support for raw_input and %debug, as of 1.0.


In [1]:
# Python 3 compat
import sys
if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
    raw_input = input

In [2]:
name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
name


What is your name? Sir Robin
Out[2]:
'Sir Robin'

Python 2-only: the eval input works as well (input is just eval(raw_input(prompt)))


In [3]:
fingers = input("How many fingers? ")
fingers, type(fingers)


How many fingers? 4
Out[3]:
(4, int)

In [4]:
def div(x, y):
    return x/y

div(1,0)
