intputlib 1.1.4

A simple helper function for reading integers and floats from input

IntputLib

Because typing int(input()) everywhere is a rite of passage we'd rather skip.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This started as a joke among friends after someone accidentally typed intput. Don't take it too seriously.

What is this?

IntputLib is a tiny Python library designed to save you from the repetitive strain of capturing numerical input from users. It handles the boring try-except loops so you can focus on the fun parts of your code.

No more writing this masterpiece of error-handling over and over again:

while True:
    try:
        x = int(input("Enter a number: "))
        break
    except ValueError:
        print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")

Installation

Just a simple pip install away (if only everything in life were this easy):

pip install intputlib

Usage

Here’s how you can reclaim your time and sanity.

Basic Integer Input

Use intput() as a smarter, more patient version of int(input()).

from intputlib import intput

age = intput("Enter your age (or fake it, we won't judge): ")
print(f"You are {age} years old!")

Integer Input with a Custom Error Message

Tired of the generic "invalid input"? Give your users a custom message.

from intputlib import intput

score = intput("Enter your score: ", error_msg="Come on, numbers only!")
print(f"Your score: {score}")

Integer Input within a Range

Keep your users in line by specifying a minimum and maximum value.

from intputlib import intput_range

level = intput_range("Choose a level (1-10): ", min_val=1, max_val=10)
print(f"You selected level {level}!")

Custom Error Message for Range Input

You can also customize the error message for out-of-range inputs.

difficulty = intput_range(
    "Select difficulty (1-5): ",
    min_val=1,
    max_val=5,
    error_msg="Oops! Only numbers between 1 and 5 are allowed."
)
print(f"Difficulty set to {difficulty}")

Basic Float Input

For when you need those decimal points.

from intputlib import floatput

height = floatput("Enter your height in meters (e.g., 1.75): ")
print(f"Your height: {height} m")

Features

• Simplified Input: Read integers and floats with a single, clean function call.
• Hassle-Free Validation: Automatically handles ValueError and keeps asking until a valid number is entered.
• Range Enforcement: Easily restrict integer inputs to a specified range.
• Customizable Prompts: Tailor your input prompts and error messages.
• No More Crashes: Saves your scripts from the dreaded ValueError when a user types "abc" instead of "123".

Why Use This?

Because life is too short to write the same validation loop for the hundredth time. Let intput() handle the nagging for you, so you can get back to building amazing things.
