I am trying to run a chunk of python code in Rstudio using the reticulate package. Be it a standard python script or RMarkdown, the Rstudio console shoots through the code and does not stop to ask me for input whenever it runs an input command. Here's an example:
print('How much do you think Zuck owns?')
Zuck = int(input("Enter Zuck's net worth: "))
if Zuck < 5000000000:
print("That ain't much!")
elif Zuck == 5000000000:
print("That's 5 billion!")
else:
print("Ima make more after I graduate")
If I were running this code in Spyder/Jupyter notebook, the code will stop at the input command and ask me to enter Zuck's net worth before proceeding. Instead, here's what it does in Rstudio:
It is not stopping at the input command for me to enter Zuck's net worth. It rather goes ahead with the if statement, without assigning any value to the input - thus generating an error.
The same problem happens even in RMarkdown python code chunk.
Please let me know if there is any way for this to work.
