I am using Python's raw_input to get input from keyboard.

How do I debug my code with PyCharm? I am unable to input from keyboard when (for example) name = raw_input("Input your name") is executed.

You enter the input into the console that shows up, when you compile and run your script. Like so, the green text is the input.

    The problem was `PyCharm->Properties->Build->Console>"Always show debug console"` which was checked, so Python console was taking my input. I de-selected the console checkbox, and now I can do what you suggest on the screenshot. Thanks. – Danijel Feb 24 '16 at 14:48
  • Another problem: now `key = msvcrt.getch()` doesn't work in PyCharm, but that seems to be known problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30534218/msvcrt-kbhit-and-msvcrt-getch-not-working-in-pycharm. – Danijel Feb 24 '16 at 14:58
  • It seems you also want to be sure to **not** check the Run Configurations option "Emulate terminal in output console, which seems odd. You may also have problems with `getpass.getpass()`, I can only get it working in debug mode: see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28579468/how-to-use-the-python-getpass-getpass-in-pycharm – nealmcb Nov 04 '17 at 21:40

For users of IntelliJ, "Always show debug console" is under IntelliJ IDEA -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Console
