Reading input values in ipython notebook

Question

whenever trying to input values from keyboard using ipython notebook using the input() function like python, it gives error.

EOFError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-725a22d6f154> in <module>()
     8 #Reads three Input values for x,y and z
     9 print "Enter Values of x, y, z :- "
---> 10 x = input()
     11 y = input()
     12 z = input()

EOFError: EOF when reading a line

the same works correctly in python. how can I do this in ipython notebook environment?

thanks in advance.

@reshmig whats the error? I've used `raw_input` as well and it works great. – agconti Aug 12 '13 at 12:56
it is not asking for the input values and shows the error EOFError – reshmi g Aug 12 '13 at 13:01
while using raw_input() function, it shows the error that this frontend does not support stdin. – reshmi g Aug 12 '13 at 13:10

only 1.0 support it in the notebook. – Matt Aug 12 '13 at 16:14
