[IPython-User] IPython Qt Console hangs when I use raw_input() in a loop

[Alejandro Weinstein]

Hi:

My IPython Qt Console hangs when I use raw_input() in a loop. I need
to Ctrl-C to break the loop. It hangs in different in a different part
of the loop each time I run the code. The same code works as expected
in a terminal instance of IPython. The following snippet illustrates
the problem. I am running Python 2.7.2, IPython 0.12 in an Ubuntu
11.10 machine.
