All,
I have not tried CMD. Readline module does not work under windows at all.
Cursers also is not supported. PySimpleGUIWx is a simple GUI python module for
creating GUI interfaces. This works quite well and is very simple to use. I
have created some GUI dialogs and they are accessible. The PySimpleGUI uses TKD
(I think that is the correct name) which is from Linux. It is not accessible.
This is the default and what most Python GUI is built in from my investigation.
Another module is PySimpleGUIQt for the Qt environment. The documentation is
very good and provides example. All you need to do is switch the imported
module and the code should work.

Hi,
Unsure if this will help, but check out the cmd module in the Python Standard
Library.
Thanks.

Did you figure out an answer for your issue? I am looking for a similar
solution. Readline isn’t platform independent. I think its just a Linux/unix
library.
Best,

It isn’t an exercise. I have a list of values that I want to modify by hand. I
can write them to a file. But I want to have it interactive. Easygui which is
an easy GUI module is not accessible. I was hoping for Win32. But I cannot
install it using my version of python. Looks Like I might try and different
distribution and hope it includes win32.

Hi,
You can emulate key presses to fill in the text to be edited on the console.
After the program is done typing it, you can apply your edits and send them
with enter. However, unless it is some kind of exercise, most likely you can
just use a command line editor like vim.

Nick,
I am going down the path of GuI. I only need a simple box popping up with the
value already populated. Cursors I cannot install under windows and I have just
found out it is not reliable. I am having issues with installing win32gui
module. Saying the version is not supported. Someone has recommended another
module which I will check out.
I really need to look at the book which was posted a couple of days ago for GUI
programming. But I don’t have bookshare access at this point of time. I might
need to check other sources.

If you want to show text of test after the value of modify you can concatenate
it. that would work as long as it is a string. if you are dealing with numbers,
you can pass it to str function and concatenate it that way. see the code below.
x=input(“modify: ”+a)
for detecting keypresses in console, i don't exactly remember the function that
lets you do that right now. i'll have to look through my projects and get back
to you.
Hth.
Nick.

All,
I have a list (array) with pre-populated. I want to modify some of the elements
via console using python. I have found the input() command for python 3.7. But
function does not allow me to insert a variable to be edited.
For example:
A = ‘test of text’
B = Input (‘Modify:’)
The above function does not allow you to show the following and modify:
Modify: test of text
Then I want to use the backspace, arrow keys, etc to change the “test of text”
to something else and on pressing enter the new value is saved in a variable.
This I want to do in the console. Not GUI.
