How to use input with (python) processing running on a mac ?

bcastagnetto

Hi,

I just downloaded processing and installed python mode. I am running processing 3.3.5 on a Macbook Air (OS Sierra 10.13.6).

I'm trying to run a very basic code :

a=input()
print(a)

But it won't work I got the error:

 processing.app.SketchException: EOFError: raw_input()
    at jycessing.mode.run.SketchRunner.convertPythonSketchError(SketchRunner.java:248)
    at jycessing.mode.run.SketchRunner.access$4(SketchRunner.java:227)
    at jycessing.mode.run.SketchRunner$3.run(SketchRunner.java:122)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

What should I do please ?

Processing can't access inputs from the console unfortunately.
You're gonna need to use something like JOptionPane::showInputDialog() instead:

1. http://Docs.Oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/swing/JOptionPane.html#showInputDialog-java.lang.Object-
2. https://Forum.Processing.org/two/discussion/12532/windowjs-cross-mode-alert-confirm-prompt-other-js-api-for-java

Besides WindowJS above, there's also this library Inputs, which is JOptionPane-based as well:

If you know how to, you can compile "Inputs.java" w/ javac, and package it w/ jar.
Otherwise, you're gonna need to convert that library as a Jython class. #:-S

I'm using a very rude swing InputDialog:

def setup():
    answer = input('enter your name')
    println('hi ' + str(answer))

def input(message=''):
    from javax.swing import JOptionPane
    return JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame, message)
