Description

python interpreter should handle raw_input correctly

%python
name = raw_input('What is your name?\n')
print 'Hi, %s.' % name

raw_input is used to get input from user at execution time. If same commands are executed in python shell directly, it gets input from user.

But Zeppelin interpreter can not get input from user. It stops execution at row_input.

root@xxxx:~# python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> name = raw_input('What is your name?\n')
What is your name?
yesha
>>> print 'Hi, %s.' % name
Hi, yesha.
>>> 

Zeppelin should either show a valid error message (such as raw_input not supported) or should be able to accept user input at runtime.
