It seems as of now, the only solution is still to install SublimeREPL.
To extend on Raghav's answer, it can be quite annoying to have to go into the Tools->SublimeREPL->Python->Run command every time you want to run a script with input, so I devised a quick key binding that may be handy:
To enable it, go to Preferences->Key Bindings - User, and copy this in there:
[
{"keys":["ctrl+r"] ,
"caption": "SublimeREPL: Python - RUN current file",
"command": "run_existing_window_command",
"args":
{
"id": "repl_python_run",
"file": "config/Python/Main.sublime-menu"
}
},
]
Naturally, you would just have to change the "keys" argument to change the shortcut to whatever you'd like.
