A problem from a Vim user

[manuhack]

When I use raw_input('Please type something.\n') in the python 2.4
command line windows, it doesn't have any problem.  However, when I run
the same command in vim 7 as :py raw_input('Please type something.\n'),
there is an EOFError: EOF when reading a line.  Is there a way to use
that command within vim without raising errors?

Thanks a lot.
