Python Settings Help please!

Hi, so I am trying to learn Python through a book. And i ran into an issue that i dont know how to solve.

so the code is celsius = input("___") , when i press enter, the next line asks me what the input is. How do i configure python so that the program will only ask me that when i want to run it? because right now each line is running automatically after every line. Help is much appreciated!

Please try to write more clearly. You sound like me.
"each line runs after every line".

I think I get the drift. Define a function. The function code won't execute until you ask.

Code:

>>> def c2k():
...     c = input('___')
...     return float(c)+273.28 # or whatever the constant is
... 
>>> c2k()  # now evaluate the function

while True:
    c = input("Enter celcius: ")
    if c:
        break
