Input with Timeout
input_with_timeout captures user input with a timeout. If the user does not
respond in time, it raises TimeoutError.
Installation
pip install input-with-timeout
or with uv:
uv add input-with-timeout
Features
- Customizable timeout for user input
- Cross-platform support (Windows and Unix)
- Typed public API (
py.typed) - Compatible with Python 3.8+
Usage
from input_with_timeout import input_with_timeout
try:
user_input = input_with_timeout("Enter your input: ", timeout=10)
print(f"Input received: '{user_input}'.")
except TimeoutError:
print("No input received within the timeout period.")
Use timeout=None for normal blocking input() behavior.
