title: Input a multiline string in python
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple programme that inputs a single multiline input and outputs it as a table.</p>
  
  <p>input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a
  b
  c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know i could have done this is easily in python 2.7.5 by using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>input_string = raw_input("&gt; ").splitlines()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this would return ['a', 'b', 'c']</p>
  
  <p>however in python 3, the line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>input_string = input("&gt; ").splitlines()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>only returns <code>['a']</code> hence it only reads the first line of the input string.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way in python 3 to accept a multiline input? Thanks.</p>
