title: Python raw_input not taking input
body: <p>I've recently started learning python and got tired of running it on the command line (terminal mac os x). I wanted an environment that I could code nicely in and run that code only when pieces of it were done, not line-by-line as in the shell. I decided to use Xcode as the interface is clean and simple, and followed <a href="http://vandadnp.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/building-and-running-python-scripts-with-xcode-4-x/" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a> to set up Xcode so that I could run python scripts. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is that when I use <code>raw_input()</code> and then click <kbd>run</kbd>, I can't type a value to pass to the variable it's stored in. Take this simple line for example:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p>word = raw_input("Enter a word: ")</p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Later on in the program, <code>word</code> is printed. When I click <kbd>run</kbd> on Xcode, the prompt shows up as expected in the console:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p>Enter a word: </p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, I can not type anything into it, the cursor is blinking so I know it is responding but when I type a value, nothing happens. I'm not sure what is wrong here, hopefully one of you can help me out. </p>
