This is a pretty basic question I'm having trouble with. I have a python program, and when I use raw_input to get user input, whenever I try to delete something the user already types, this symbol appears: ^H, instead of allowing me to delete what I have already typed. How can I allow users to delete previous things they've typed?
If you import the readline module, raw_input() should use it with no further modification, and you'll get better control sequence support.
