Simple input loop
while True:
query = input('> ')
results = get_results(query)
print(results)
Doesn't allow me to use arrow keys to
Instead it just prints all the escape codes:
> my query^[[C^[[D^[[D^[[D^[[A^[[A^[[A
How can I make it behave like a REPL or shell prompt?
Use cmd module to create a cmd interpreter class like below.
import cmd
class CmdParse(cmd.Cmd):
prompt = '> '
commands = []
def do_list(self, line):
print(self.commands)
def default(self, line):
print(line[::])
# Write your code here by handling the input entered
self.commands.append(line)
def do_exit(self, line):
return True
if __name__ == '__main__':
CmdParse().cmdloop()
Attaching the output of this program on trying few commands below:
mithilesh@mithilesh-desktop:~/playground/on_the_fly$ python cmds.py
> 123
123
> 456
456
> list
['123', '456']
> exit
