We just updated jupyter_client master to do that.

The notebook append an in put field which is submitted when the user press enter.
you can try on try.jupyter.org with the following in a python cell:

name = input('name:’)

If the fronted does not support input request it should raise a not implemented from our side in Python at least IIRC. 

Does that reply to your question ?
