	That's an interesting configuration...

	"pythonw.exe" is a version of the Python interpreter designed to NOT
OPEN a console -- so you've got a configuration saying "open a console
to run a no-console interpreter".

	Normally pythonw.exe is used with scripts having .pyw extension;
these are scripts that use tkinter, wxPython, or other GUI system to
create a graphical environment and don't want a console (terminal)
window cluttering the screen when they don't use text I/O.

	Console based programs (.py) should be run using python.exe; adjust
your settings.

	And this is to be expected... In Python 2.x, "input()" attempts to
evaluate the input data, and you didn't supply anything -- hence EOF.
For your usage, you want "raw_input()", which just grabs the next line
of text and returns it as a string.


	As for how to run if you've opened a console (shell [bash]) window,
the way to run a script is to type

	python <path/name/to/your/script>.py <any command line arguments>
