Howdy y'all,

How do you take input from a user in Mystic Python?
I tried using something like

name = input()

or

name = raw_input()

but it just hangs... what is the function to get user input?

Best regards,

Are you using PY or MPY? If you're running mpy, then it shold be:

name = getstr(11,40,120,"Default"

Have a look at testpython.mpy in the scripts directory for more information.
