Hi, running the code below in Pythonista is not working as expected. Looks like the worker thread is being "blocked" by raw_input whereas in other platforms (Raspberry Pi, Windows - both v.2.7.3) same code allows it to run in the background normally.

Can anybody reproduce this and help me understand if this is normal behaviour? Actually this code is just a simplification of what i'm trying to achieve with more complex code. I'm thinking this could probably be a particular iOS limitation.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

import threading
import time

class Worker():
	def PrintSomething(self):
		while True:
			print "something"
			time.sleep(1)
					
if __name__=="__main__":
	worker=Worker()
	wthread=threading.Thread(target=worker.PrintSomething)
	wthread.start()
	while True:
		input=raw_input("Your input?: ") #waits for user input and currently blocks 'worker' thread in Pythonista
		time.sleep(1)

Expected result would be something like:

Your input? : something
something
something
something
something
something
something
Your input? : something
something
...

But it throws just this:

something
Your input?:
