如何使用curses输入后内联打印

Question

I want to receive input by prompt with the following structure:

-----------------------------
|                           |
| Digit your name:[]        |
|                           |
-----------------------------

where '[]' is the input cursor.

The code that i made (not working) with raw input is:

print('-----------------------------------------------------------------------')
print('| {:67s} |'.format(''))
print('| {:67s} |'.format(input('Digit your name:')))
print('| {:67s} |'.format(''))
print('-----------------------------------------------------------------------')

How can I make it working with curses ? Thanks

If you want to do this in curses you need to have a main funtion where you put in the stdscr as an argument, like this:

import curses


def main(stdscr):
    stdscr.getch()


curses.wrapper(main)

And the stdscr.getch() just waits for the user to press any key.

Then you can print out a string on the text with the stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "Digit your name:") . The first two arguments are the y and x coordinates. so then it will look like this

import curses


def main(stdscr):
    stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "Digit your name:")
    stdscr.getch()


curses.wrapper(main)

Then if you want a kind of input , you need curses.echo() , which will just echo your input. And then stdscr.getstr(0, 0) . But those two arguments are where you want the user to write. But if you run it:

import curses


def main(stdscr):
    curses.echo()
    stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "Digit your name:")
    stdscr.getstr(0, len("Digit your name:"))


curses.wrapper(main)

You then need to say stdscr.addstr(0, len("Digit your name:") + 1)

And if you want to make a box here is a link.

I hope i could help you. And remember. You can't do this in pycharm editor. You need to do it in the terminal
