[Eric] PyQt4 realtime interactive shell

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

the problem is, that the debugger backend, which is supplying the Python shell 
function as well, is not using the raw_input method. Therefore, the 
PyOS_InputHook() method is not called. 

Does anybody know how to call this later method from a Python program?

Regards,
Detlev
