I'm new too. However, as far as I understand the console for CE was
removed in recent version. I haven't really worked with user input in
pythonCE but perhaps you can use a gui textinput as suggested in a
previous post.

Joshua, you could try easygui. It's a GUI tool for getting user input
in non-GUI programs. It uses Tkinter, but without all of the overhead
you'd normally have. You just use a one-liner to get the input.
#easygui-example.py
from easygui import *
import sys
while 1:
msgbox("Hello, world!")
msg ="What is your favorite flavor?"
title = "Ice Cream Survey"
choices = ["Vanilla", "Chocolate", "Strawberry", "Rocky Road"]
choice = choicebox(msg, title, choices)
# note that we convert choice to string, in case
# the user cancelled the choice, and we got None.
msgbox("You chose: " + str(choice), "Survey Result")
msg = "Do you want to continue?"
cheers,
