I don't think that you are going to be able and get the value using
'raw_input' in Maya.
What I would do is give the* textField* a name when creating it:
cmds.textField("nameOfTheTextField",enterCommand="doSomethingWithValue()",
w=100,h=17)
And then query it's value using something like this:
value=cmds.textField("nameOfTheTextField",query=True,text=True)
Personally, I would create a function that you execute when you press a
button (or press Enter from the textField) which queries the value and do
the rest of the work. By doing that, you keep the code separated which is
going to help to keep things clear.
Hope it helps
