Answer 1

Cos this program does not take over the control from console for writing redirect. So you can't input anything with input() function while running.

Actually all those codes running here is through steps bellow

1. Coding local
2. Send to remote server
3. Run there
4. Return the result from remote server
5. Display result local

Thus when you using input() function it is prompting in remote computer not this app! That is why your code can't run abnormal here.

While using in pic you have full control to run codes in local and get input stream of local.

Hope this is helpful for you.
