A question regarding using input()

[biagiopalese]

I was wondering if support for Python's input() function is currently part of your work on the quarto-pyodide extension, or if it might be possible to implement in the future?

I've attempted several workarounds without success, including:

• Using JavaScript to create a custom pyodideInput function
• Implementing async/await patterns with Promise-based input handling
• Trying HTML input elements with JavaScript bridges to Python
• Exploring setStdin configurations for Pyodide

The ability to use input() would greatly enhance the interactive capabilities of Python code in Quarto documents. If it's not currently feasible, could you perhaps suggest any alternative approaches that might work within the quarto-pyodide framework? Thank you in advance for creating this extension and for your support.

@biagiopalese not currently on my feature map; nor is it likely to be.

You probably want to look more closely at Jupyterlite, which supports this feature through asynchronous futures and embedded prompting.

https://jupyter.org/try-jupyter/lab/

your_name = input("What's your name? ")

print(f"Hello there {your_name}")

@coatless I appreciate the prompt response. It does make sense, I was trying to move some teaching content from Jupiterlite to quarto/pyodide. However, input is not a deal breaker and thank you again for creating this great extension.
