Like python's input(), but with timeout and default value

Project description

input_timeout

Define how long you want to wait for the user's input.

After the time is over, a default value is set.

Install it:

pip install input-timeout

Use it:

from input_timeout import InputTimeout



        i = InputTimeout(

            timeout=20,

            input_message=" >> ",

            timeout_message="'Sorry, you were not fast enough'",

            defaultvalue="slow",

            cancelbutton="esc",

            show_special_characters_warning='If you want to use special characters, you have to use alt+\\d\\d\\d\\d\nPress "ctrl" to see a complete list of all combinations!',

        ).finalvalue

        print(f"\n\nYour input was {i}")



        i = InputTimeout(

            timeout=5,

            input_message=" >> ",

            timeout_message="Sorry, you were not fast enough: ",

            defaultvalue="slow",

            cancelbutton="esc",

            show_special_characters_warning='If you want to use special characters, you have to use alt+\\d\\d\\d\\d\nPress "ctrl" to see a complete list of all combinations!',

        ).finalvalue

        print(f"\n\nYour input was {i}")



        i = InputTimeout(

            timeout=10,

            input_message=" >> ",

            timeout_message="Sorry, you were not fast enough",

            defaultvalue="Wake up!",

            cancelbutton=None,

            show_special_characters_warning=None,

        ).finalvalue

        print(f"\n\nYour input was {i}")



        i = InputTimeout(

            timeout=10,

            input_message=" >> ",

            timeout_message="Sorry, you were not fast enough",

            defaultvalue="Are you sleeping?",

            cancelbutton="esc",

            show_special_characters_warning=None,

        ).finalvalue

        print(f"\n\nYour input was {i}")



        i = InputTimeout(

            timeout=10,

            input_message=" >>",

            timeout_message="Sorry, you were not fast enough",

            defaultvalue="you are so slow",

            cancelbutton=None,

            show_special_characters_warning='If you want to use special characters, you have to use alt+\\d\\d\\d\\d\nPress "ctrl" to see a complete list of all combinations!',

        ).finalvalue

        print(f"\n\nYour input was {i}")
