I get nothing when use input function on python 3.6

Question

I am trying something very simple but my code just stuck or it is a problem with the print input function. So this is my code

variable = input("Enter something: ")
print(variable)

When I run my script e get nothing. This is the output:

Enter something: try

And it just stuck. Nothing is printed. I do not know what is the problem and do not think that there is a coding problem.

This code won't alone have the behavior you're describing. How is this being run? Is the code you posted here *literally* what you're running? — Carcigenicate, Jul 21 '19 at 20:38
Yep. This is all my code. I have not import anything or add something else and this is why I cannot understand the problem — Nikimiskata, Jul 21 '19 at 20:40
So if you create a new Python file with just these two lines of code and run it with `python .py` on a terminal, you get this behavior? — iz_, Jul 21 '19 at 20:44
@Nikimiskata Again, how are you running it? From the command line? An IDE terminal? A REPL? — Carcigenicate, Jul 21 '19 at 20:45
If you are directly running this script with double click on the file then it may be possible that your console will not wait for showing you the output i.e. 'try'. And yes make sure that you pressed enter after typing 'try' (as mentioned above). — Er. Harsh Rathore, Jul 21 '19 at 20:45
try to run it with command prompt or terminal. with command python .py — Er. Harsh Rathore, Jul 21 '19 at 20:48
It is working fine on a terminal. But when I try using ides it is same — Nikimiskata, Jul 21 '19 at 20:51
@Nikimiskata I've never used sublime. This isn't a problem with your code though. You either aren't looking in the right place to see console output, or there's a problem with your environment. — Carcigenicate, Jul 21 '19 at 20:51

Sublime text 3 has some build problems with its command palette. I just tried this code with sublime and faced the same problem.

Use command prompt(if windows) or terminal(if linux) with following command:

python <filename>.py

Or open this file with python IDLE and use F5 key to run the script.
