[TxMt] Problem running a simple Python script containing call to raw_input()

Hello

I'm a bit stumped...

I have a simple Python script containing a call to raw_input(). When I run the script with Cmd-R, the 'Running' window pops open, the script runs, but upon reaching the raw_input() call I'm not prompted for any user input. Instead the window displays an error:

EOFError: 'EOF when reading a line'

Running the script via the terminal works as expected: the script pauses for my input, then continues.

Any ideas? I've googled about and only found one other reference to this error (on this very forum) but the issue was resolved with an update to TextMate.

TextMate is up to date (1.5.9) Python Bundle is up to date (r11739)

Thanks in advance
