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.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am writing a plugin in the python shell. I can get source info with<br>
ActiveSource, or FindSource, but I need to be able to get some info<br>
from the user. Is there a way to popup a dialog box? I know I could<br>
just import Qt myself and do it, but I am guessing paraview already has<br>
an active Qt mainloop somewhere, and starting another wouldn't be<br>
smart.<br>
<br>
Any help would be much appreciated please<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
