There are only 5 simple Functions

- ask_int

Takes in 2 arguments, both of them should be string types

prompt: the message to show when asking for input

message: The Message to Print out if the validation failed

- ask_float

Will Keep asking for input until the input is a valid float, in that case returns the parsed float

Takes in the same arguments as ask_int

Returns

The parsed float

- ask_bool

Will Keep asking for input until the input is a valid boolean, in that case returns the parsed boolean

Takes in the same arguments as ask_int and ask_float

Returns

The parsed boolean

- ask_if_in

Will keep asking for input until the input is found in a given iterable, in that case return the input that was found

The iterable is automatically converted to a set so the lookup time is much faster

So [1, 2.0, print, "hi", True]

becomes: ["1", "2.0", "print", "hi", "True"], so the input can be parsed

Takes in 3 arguments

prompt: the message to show when asking for input

ask_in: The iterable that will be looked in with given input

message: The Message to Print out if the validation failed

Returns

The input that was found in the iterable

- ask_regex

Takes in 3 arguments

prompt: the message to show when asking for input

pattern: the regex pattern that matches the input

message: The Message to Print out if the validation failed

prompt and message must be of type string, pattern can be of type string or re.Pattern

Returns

The input that matched the regex pattern
