How to Get User Input in Sublime Text 2?

Sublime Text 2 User Input Limitations

In Sublime Text 2, user input through functions like input() in Python or gets in Ruby is not supported by default. This can be frustrating when working with code that requires user interaction.

Solution: SublimeREPL

Fortunately, there is a workaround using a Sublime Text package called SublimeREPL. This package creates an interactive Python environment within Sublime Text, allowing you to run Python code and interact with it during execution.

Installing SublimeREPL

To install SublimeREPL, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Package Control installed.
2. Press Ctrl Shift P (Windows/Mac) or Ctrl Shift O (Linux) to open the Command Palette.
3. Type "install" and select "Package Control: Install Package".
4. Search for and select "SublimeREPL".

Using SublimeREPL

To use SublimeREPL, once you have installed it:

1. Go to Tools > SublimeREPL > Python.
2. Create a new file with Python code that includes user input, e.g.:

>>> text = input('Enter something: ')

1. Run the code using Ctrl Enter (Windows/Mac) or Ctrl / (Linux).
2. SublimeREPL will create a new tab where you can enter your input and see the output.

Setting SublimeREPL as Default Build System

To make SublimeREPL the default build system for Python files, follow these steps:

1. Open the Sublime Text Preferences file (Preferences > Preferences.sublime-settings).
2. Add the following lines:

"build_systems": [{
  "name": "Python REPL",
  "commands": [{
    "command": "sublimerepl_run_in_tab"
  }]
}]

3. Save the Preferences file.

With SublimeREPL installed and configured as the default build system, you can now enter user input within Sublime Text 2 and interact with your code during execution.
