[Paraview] Getting user input while in python shell plugin

[pat marion]

You can use python's raw_input() function to get user input.  Paraview's
raw_input support is meant to mimic command line programs, so it expects
that the python shell is open and places the text input box at the cursor.

If you want to use PyQt4, see
