Joe will follow up with the API

As for the API, I'm thinking a blocking function for really simple use, just like a raw_input() call-

def keyboard_prompt(initial='', prompt='', ok_button='OK', background_color='black', allow_empty=True):
    # implementation here
    pass

So programs can use it like

password = keyboard_prompt(prompt='Password', initial='qwerty123')

Full example app:

import tingbot
from tingbot import *

state = {}

@button.press('left')
def change_name():
    state['name'] = keyboard_prompt(state['name'], prompt='Name')

def loop():
    screen.fill(color='black')
    screen.text('Hello, %s!' % state['name'])

tingbot.run(loop)
