Hi!
I don't have a Mac and so I don't know Macpython.

Here on my sun i get the following:
>>> a=input("hello=")
hello=5+6
>>> a
11
When calling help on input the result is the following:
>>> help(input)
Help on built-in function input:
input(...)
input([prompt]) -> value
Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).
So the inputvalue is evaluated in python.
Using raw_input() gives back the entered value:
>>> a=raw_input("hello=")
hello=myInput
>>> a
'myInput'
Perhaps this work's also on a Mac

On a UNIX-Shell two programms are connected via the "|" - Pipe.
The first one writes to stdout ( sys.stdout or print ) and the second
reads from stdin
