Hi, this comes up every now and then, but our output view is not a terminal emulator in a lot of ways. It's just an output view. If you need an actual terminal emulator, use one, e.g. by using the "compiled binary" run configuration and ticking "use external terminal", then set /usr/bin/python as the binary and your script as the argument.

I think adding input functionality to the KDevelop output view is out of scope, it also seems like a very niche feature. If anything, it would be cool to have "Use external terminal" available for the script launcher.
