Okay fellow scripters, I have a problem. It's small but annoying. See, I wrote this program for encrypting messages. The program itself runs like a charm, except for one major issue. I'm sure I've read something about this somewhere else, but I just can't think of where, so I turn to thescripts for help.
My program uses the raw_input() thing, and it works perfectly, until I try to encrypt a piece of text that is just too big. So I figure there is some limit on the raw_input() that I don't know about. I checked if it might be the terminal's fault (I'm using terminal in Mac OS X Leopard) by just copying the entire message into the terminal. That went flawlessly, so it's something with python.
Too long and you didn't read it? I need to bypass the limit in the raw_input() command so that I can enter large amounts of text, and I'm asking what I need to put in my script to do so.
I'm using MacPython 2.5, and switch between textedit and idle for editing my script if that matters.
