keyflow 0.0.2

A small python library to simulate typing in the console and custom text formatting.

KeyFlow

KeyFlow is a Python library that provides interactive console printing with a simulated typing effect and customizable text formatting. It allows you to create dynamic and engaging command-line interfaces for your Python applications.

Features

• Simulated typing effect: Display text with a realistic typing animation.
• Customizable formatting: Apply foreground and background colors, underline, bold, and italics to your printed text.
• Error simulation: Introduce random typing errors to make the output more human-like.
• Prompt input: Display prompts and wait for user input with support for various input validation options.
• Integration with PyInputPlus: Option to use PyInputPlus functions for input handling.
• Easy-to-use API: Simple and intuitive functions for printing and input.

Installation

You can install KeyFlow using pip:

pip install keyflow

Usage

kfprint

The kfprint function prints text with a simulated typing effect and supports custom foreground and background colors.

from keyflow import kfprint

kfprint(text, speed=0.2, retype=None, fore_color=None, back_color=None, typing=True, error=0.2, underline=False, bold=False, italics=False)

Parameters

• text (str): The text to be printed.
• speed (float, optional): The typing speed in seconds per character. Default is 0.2.
• retype (str, optional): Text to be retyped after printing. Default is None.
• fore_color (str, optional): The foreground color code or name to apply to the text. Default is None.
• back_color (str, optional): The background color code or name to apply to the text. Default is None.
• typing (bool, optional): Whether to simulate typing effect. Default is True.
• error (float, optional): The probability of making an error while typing. Default is 0.2.
• underline (bool, optional): Whether to underline the text. Default is False.
• bold (bool, optional): Whether to bold the text. Default is False.
• italics (bool, optional): Whether to italicize the text. Default is False.

kfinput

The kfinput function displays text with a simulated typing effect, waits for user input, and returns the entered value.

from keyflow import kfinput

kfinput(text, speed=0.2, retype=None, fore_color=None, back_color=None, typing=True, use_pyip=None, pyip_params={}, error=0.2, underline=False, bold=False, italics=False)

Parameters

• text (str): The text to be displayed as a prompt.
• speed (float, optional): The typing speed in seconds per character. Default is 0.2.
• retype (str, optional): Text to be retyped after printing. Default is None.
• fore_color (str, optional): The foreground color code or name to apply to the text. Default is None.
• back_color (str, optional): The background color code or name to apply to the text. Default is None.
• typing (bool, optional): Whether to simulate typing effect. Default is True.
• use_pyip (callable, optional): A function to use for input. Default is None.
• pyip_params (dict, optional): Additional parameters to pass to the use_pyip function. Default is an empty dictionary.
• error (float, optional): The probability of making an error while typing. Default is 0.2.
• underline (bool, optional): Whether to underline the text. Default is False.
• bold (bool, optional): Whether to bold the text. Default is False.
• italics (bool, optional): Whether to italicize the text. Default is False.

Note: When typing, you can press the spacebar to pause and resume the typing animation.
