keyboard library interfered with python input

Question

When I press on "p" it triggers input with "p" in the start :

import keyboard

def print_your_name():
    x = input("Enter Your Name: ")
    print(x)



keyboard.add_hotkey('p', print_your_name)
keyboard.wait("esc")

output:

Enter Your Name:p

Is there any way to send a clean input to the user?

The solution that worked for me was to use the built-in msvcrt library (on Windows). If you use a Unix-like system there is a library called termios that I believe will do the same thing although I have not tested it. Just replace msvcrt wherever it appears in the code with termios.

Here is the working code

import msvcrt

def print_your_name():
    x = input("Enter Your Name: ")
    print(x)

def listen_for_p():
    while True:
        #Wait for keypress
        if msvcrt.kbhit():
            key = msvcrt.getch().decode()
            if key == 'p':
                print_your_name()

# Start listening for 'p' key
listen_for_p()

This approach directly captures keypresses from the console and doesn't rely on hooking into system-wide keyboard events, which interferes with the input() function.
