Pause hangs cell

rapgenic opened this issue · 0 comments

When running the command pause with no arguments it hangs the notebook waiting for an input but without showing a input prompt.

The reason is pause does not use the input manager, but instead not too standard kbhit function, which reads from stdin on linux and uses a windows specific function on windows. Not very portable.

Probably easiest solution is to override the pause function and prevent the use without arguments.
