12.2.2. String input

This demo shows how to get input from the user. For more sophisticated inputs based on input boxes etc. please see the methods in the module itom.ui.

Inputs in this demo will force an input line in the command line (green background). Put some text there and press return to continue.

name = input("Please put your name after the colon:")
age = input("Please put your age:")

try:
    age_ = int(age)
    print("Hello %s. Your age is %i" % (name, age_))
except Exception:
    print("Your age could not be interpreted as integer")
