Input Exception about shakespearelang HOT 3 CLOSED

Ok, I think I see the issue. '\n' is being added after input(), but it is never removed during the digit extraction loop. In the next request '\n' is still there in the input buffer, so "if not self._input_buffer" is false and input doesn't get called again, leading to no digits being extracted and the exception. Removing the '\n' and adding a length check to the digit extraction loop seems to fix it... not sure if this affects char reading though.

def _run_input(self, input_op, character):
        if not self._input_buffer:
            try:
                self._input_buffer = input()
            except EOFError:
                if input_op.input_char:
                    self._character_opposite(character).value = -1
                    return
                else:
                    raise Exception('End of file encountered.')

        if input_op.input_number:
            number_input = ''
            while self._input_buffer and self._input_buffer[0].isdigit():
                number_input += self._input_buffer[0]
                self._input_buffer = self._input_buffer[1:]

            if len(number_input) == 0:
                raise Exception('No numeric input was given.')

            self._character_opposite(character).value = int(number_input)
        elif input_op.input_char:
            input_char = ord(self._input_buffer[0])
            self._input_buffer = self._input_buffer[1:]
            self._character_opposite(character).value = input_char

@Praxidice Thank you for reporting the issue! I'm finally doing a maintenance pass on shakespearelang and I think I've found a good fix for this.

Unfortunately, the numeric input functionality of SPL was not well-defined and the behavior I made up has been somewhat buggy and surprising.

I've revised numeric input in my latest change so that requesting a number will consume all consecutive digits at the start of the input, and an optional line break. If the line break is not present, nothing more is consumed so that the rest of the line can be read as characters.

I'll close this issue when the fix is released.

A bit late here (it's been out since January) but 1.0.0rc1 fixes this issue -- feel free to test it out!
