I'm using Python 3 and I'm looking for a way for the program to ask 2 user inputs in a single line.
Example of the output I'm looking for:
enter first input: enter second input:
However the only way I know for asking multiple user inputs is this:
first_input = input("enter first input: ")
second_input = input("enter second input: ")
#output
enter first input:
enter second input:
Is the one I'm looking for possible? If yes, can someone teach me how to do that?
choices = raw_input("Please enter two input and seperate with space")
value1, value2 = choices.split(" ")
Now if you enter 1 56 or something like this value1 will be 1 and value2 will be 56.
You can choose another seperator for split function.
This is largely environment-dependent.
The following is a windows-only solution:
from ctypes import *
from ctypes import wintypes
def get_stderr_handle():
# stdin handle is -10
# stdout handle is -11
# stderr handle is -12
return windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(-12)
def get_console_screen_buffer_info():
csbi_ = CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO()
windll.kernel32.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(get_stderr_handle(), byref(csbi_))
return csbi_
class CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO(Structure):
"""struct in wincon.h."""
_fields_ = [
("dwSize", wintypes._COORD),
("dwCursorPosition", wintypes._COORD),
("wAttributes", wintypes.WORD),
("srWindow", wintypes.SMALL_RECT),
("dwMaximumWindowSize", wintypes._COORD),
]
csbi = get_console_screen_buffer_info()
first_input = input("enter first input: ")
cursor_pos = csbi.dwCursorPosition
cursor_pos.X = len("enter first input: ") + len(first_input) + 1
windll.kernel32.SetConsoleCursorPosition(get_stderr_handle(), cursor_pos)
second_input = input("enter second input: ")
The following is a linux solution, which uses backspace characters. There are some implementations of get_terminal_size() here if you're using an older python version.
from shutil import get_terminal_size
first_input = input("enter first input: ")
second_input = input("\b"*(get_terminal_size()[0] - len("enter first input: ") - len(first_input) - 1) + "enter second input: ")
This may help
import sys
inputarr=sys.stdin.read().split()
print("input 1:",inputarr[0])
print("input 2:",inputarr[1])
you can use any other delimiter
notify me me if this not what you are looking for !
