I have no clue on how to achieve what I want to do and the code I have
creates an hash. As shown below:
for row in description:
[... get some text and present it for editing ...]
I have had a look and cannot find an example where I can interactively
edit a content of a variable at the command line. I do not want to use GUI at
all. As this is a simple program only requiring CLI. I have no problems
showing the prompt, but cannot insert text into the edit (input) area. Any
ideas?
If I understand you, you've got your target text and you want to user to
be given it so they can modify it, rather than having to retype it in
full at the prompt.
On a UNIX system you'd use the standand "readline" module, and prefill
the text buffer with your text. Is it marked as UNIX only, but I believe
there are Windows dropins for this facility. Maybe install this package:
https://pypi.org/project/pyreadline-ais/
maybe with "python -m pip install pyreadline-ais".
Then use it according to the documentation for the stdlib readline
module:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/readline.html#module-readline
