When I try running an `input` function in Python, like:
```
subject = input("Enter a subject in lower case: ")
```
I keep encountering this error:
```
enter a subject in lower case:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
subject = input("enter a subject in lower case: ")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OSError: [Errno 29] I/O error
```
I also get the same error when using `input` in other programs.
Any ideas on how to fix this?"
Hi Glenn
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We discovered a bug in our platform that prevented the input() function from working correctly for some users. This issue has now been fixed. Please refresh the page and try running your program again.
Note that this was a bug in our platform, not a bug in your code. That’s on us! If you still see the following error when you run a program that contains an input() function call, please let us know:
OSError: [Errno 29] I/O error
The next time you’re debugging a program of your own, we hope you find some consolation in this proof that experienced programmers sometimes write bugs too :)Thanks for your patience

I get the OSError: [Errno 29] I/O error after leaving my program and coming back.
