EOF error with raw_input

Question

I'm using qpython and when I'm using raw_input function I'm getting an EOF error, for example -

print " what's ur name",
a = raw_input()
print " hello %r"%a

and I'm getting this result -

what's ur name ?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 2, in 
  a= raw_input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

What's the problem ????

According to Why is raw_input() missing? Any other alternatives? from QPython forum:

The raw_input function does not work because there is no console mode like the pc in QPython+. But there is another methord to get users input, you can do Kivy programming, it offer the UI support, and you can get user input by using it's dialog or other input method.

Nah, it's a direct quote so I should keep it there. Just commenting. It's minor, but stuck out like a sore thumb to me :P – icedwater Oct 21 '13 at 10:19

Please add "#qpy:console" to let your script run with console, which you can use raw_input correctly.
