This project aims to implement a finer control for the input, especially when in use with threads.
It was partially inspired by aiming to be a cross-platform alternative to the get_line_buffer
function from the Unix only python standard library readline.
For the manual installation you must have setuptools installed.
Python usually comes with setuptools, but if yours does not, then run
pip install --upgrade setuptoolsThen clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/DaHunterTime/InputHandlerAnd move to the newly cloned folder
cd InputHandlerManual installation:
For a manual installation you can use any of the following options.
- Using python (not recommended)
- Run the following line in your terminal
python setup.py install
- To uninstall you must remove the files manually
- Run the following line in your terminal

pip uninstall pyinputhandler
- Run the following line in your terminal
Pip installation:
- To install run
pip install pyinputhandler
- To uninstall run
pip uninstall pyinputhandler
To begin with, we can import the library with
import inputhandlerOr you can import specific things like buffer_input
from inputhandler import buffer_inputWe can use the try_input like
from inputhandler import try_input
n = try_input("Enter an integer: ", cast=int, default=0)The previous code will prompt the user for an integer, process the input and then turn it into an
int if it can, otherwise it returns the specified default value.
For more uses and tests you can execute the specific test file from tests or run python test.py
to select which test to run.
