get text input from shell cursor
 |
Hello!
I'm trying out the python irclib and it's working fine. I have noticed that when I run my program there is a text cursor displayed under the outputs from print. I can print text there and nothing happens. I wonder how I can use this printed text in my program???
Note that I'm not looking for the normal input() function, that pauses the program and waits for the user input. Because my program is connected to an IRC chat server, I want to be able to get user input in real time.
(I'm new to python and only using the basics with the shell, and want this function working for default input on a 'normal' linux machine. In other words, it should work with basically any python interface.)
