How does one take interactive input? about evcxr HOT 5 OPEN

I assume you ran this in jupyter notebook? There doesnt seem to be any cross platform way to detect if a program is trying to read from stdin. When using the command line version of evcxr I think it will work.

I tried out the REPL too. The same problem persists.

I can't get evcxr working with the latest stable rustc, so I unfortunately can't help debugging this.

I have a use case that would benefit from being able to prompt for passwords from within the jupyter notebook, not necessarily from stdin.

Thanks for the reminder about this issue. I recall that Jupyter had some APIs for requesting input. I'll need to think about what API makes sense on the evcxr side. I guess probably expose a function that when called, blocks until the input is provided, then returns an Option<String>.
