Is it possible to input in the middle of a Python 3 print?

Question

Something like a input in the middle of a print, it is possible?

I’m trying to do something like this:

print (f "Eu quero digitar {input ('')} palavras.")

If I need some pygame module or whatever...

What I want is an input type response between two texts like:

QUERO DIGITAR |_ PALAVRAS

| means the mouse cursor indicating where to type and _ means the input.

I’m using Python 3.

Thanks already to everyone for the possible help. I think the next versions of python should implement this. pq it is a good thing I ask the user for ex n° of _______ houses

_______ would be where the user would type this into an input. It would be a kind of print(f"I have {input()} ideas")

Answer 1

Man, from what I understand it’s super simple.

It would be something like:

input = raw_input()
print("I want to type " + input + " words.")

And if you want to write the first part of the text, stop the execution, read the input and continue the text you can use:

print("I want to type ", end="")
input = raw_input()
print(input + " words.", end="")

But this latest implementation will only work in Python 3. As you mentioned in the title that you are using Python 3, so no problem :)

This last parameter allows you to choose which will be the last character, which by default is "\n", but this way I showed you define for an empty string, IE, nothing.

• I think this is what you want:

python

# Definimos o começo e o fim da frase:
começo_da_frase = "Eu quero digitar "
fim_da_frase = "____ palavras"
espaço = len(começo_da_frase)*" "

print(espaço,fim_da_frase,"\r",começo_da_frase,flush=True,end="")
input('') #explicação abaixo

• Explanation: This is one of the ways to solve, not very elegant but it was what I was able to think fast here.

So here’s the thing, you want to print:

"I want to type |___ words" and receive an entry that will be inserted in the location marked with "|".

• Soon you need to get back in line.

Then you print one space for the beginning of the sentence, print the final sentence, back to the beginning of the line " r" and print the beginning. Now you stopped the cursor at the very beginning of "___", then you just ask for the input!

But attention! When giving print, the function throws you at the beginning of the next line, avoid this by putting the clause end = ""

Defects in the solution:

• By typing more characters than Len("____") user text starts to delete the final sentence

Remarks:

• Perhaps it is possible to solve the problem I mentioned with the package curses, he manages the prompt giving you more control over these things, but it’s too advanced for me haha

• The name of " r" is Carriage Return, or CR
