ERROR when hitting RETURN on INPUT

[ctilly@gmail.com]

How do you prevent getting the following error when you hit the RETURN
key on an empty INPUT prompt from windows?

If I am at the Interactive Window and I type in: input("blah"), I get
an input dialog. If I then hit ENTER w/o keying in a value I get the
following error. WHY????

SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Because the input() function expects a Python expression that it can
evaluate to return a result. You probably want raw_input() instead.
