I want to do a countdown loop for a normal raw_input
were the normal raw_input
don't change, only the numbers (in raw_input
).
So, Do you want to try again? [15-1] outputs on one line and the numbers only change.
This is what I have so far and it doesn't work. So how would I do this?
while True:
for i in range(15,-1,-1):
con1=raw_input("\n Do you want to try again? " + str(i,))
if i == 0:
print "\n Thanks for playing!"
exit(0)
elif con1 == "no":
print "\n Thanks for playing!"
time.sleep(3)
exit(0)
elif con1 == "yes":
break
import select
import sys
def has_input(timeout=0.0):
return select.select([sys.stdin], [], [], timeout)[0]
def getans(timeout=15):
i = timeout
max_num_length = len(str(timeout))
while i:
print("\rDo you want to try again? {:{}} ".format(i, max_num_length),
end="", flush=True)
i -= 1
if has_input(1):
return input()
print()
return None
print(getans())
import select
import sys
def has_input(timeout=0.0):
return select.select([sys.stdin], [], [], timeout)[0]
def getans(timeout=15):
i = timeout
max_num_length = len(str(timeout))
while i:
sys.stdout.write("\rDo you want to try again? {:{}} ".format(i, max_num_length))
sys.stdout.flush()
i -= 1
if has_input(1):
return raw_input()
print
return None
print getans(5)
getans
will return None
on timeout, or the response otherwise. Theoretically, if a Windows version of has_input
could be implemented, this could work on Windows, but I haven't tested that.
