Why Can't I Get Console Input in Sublime Text 2?

Console Input Woes in Sublime Text 2

If you're a Sublime Text 2 user, you may have noticed that user input via the input() method in Python or gets in Ruby isn't working as expected. This can be frustrating, especially if you rely on user input for your code.

What's the Problem?

Sublime Text 2 doesn't natively support console input. When you attempt to enter input, it's treated as an end-of-file (EOF) error, causing the code to terminate.

A Solution: SublimeREPL

Thankfully, there's a workaround using a plugin called SublimeREPL. This plugin allows you to run code in a dedicated REPL environment within Sublime Text, providing proper console input functionality.

How to Install SublimeREPL

1. Install Package Control, which makes it easy to manage plugins in Sublime Text.
2. Press Ctrl Shift P (or Cmd Shift P on Mac) to open the command palette.
3. Type in "install" and select "sublime package control: install package".
4. Type in "SublimeREPL" and select it from the list. The plugin will be installed automatically.

How to Use SublimeREPL

1. Go to Tools > SublimeREPL > Python to start a Python REPL session.

2. To make SublimeREPL the default build system, follow the instructions:

   • Open the user settings file (Preferences > Settings - User).
   • Add the following line: "default_build_system": "SublimeREPL.sublime-build".
