In Python when I change the value of a variable through raw_input in the terminal it would write a new line stating its new value. I wanted to know if there is a way to avoid that because straight after user's input there is a print function which uses the value received before. In the end the user will get both values: original and modified while for the purpose of my program he only has to see the modified.
I use IDLE to write my scripts and then execute them in terminal.
Update
A simple example would be the following. The input is string "Hello" and the output should be "Me: Hello". There should be no "Hello" before the final result.
a = raw_input()
print ("Me: " + a)
And the output should be just
Me: Hello
rather than
Hello
Me: Hello
if you want user to see the input, just mute sys.stdout (it's a bit hack tho):
>>> from StringIO import StringIO
>>> import sys
>>> orig_out = sys.stdout
>>> print 'give me input: ',
give me input:
>>> sys.stdout = StringIO()
>>> a = raw_input('')
string I type
>>> sys.stdout = orig_out
>>> a
>>> 'string I type'
...and if you put this into a function then it's exactly what you want!
a.py
....
def foo():
orig_out = sys.stdout
print 'give me input: ',
sys.stdout = StringIO()
a = raw_input()
sys.stdout = orig_out
if __name__ == '__main__':
foo()
running:
yed@rublan $ ~ python a.py
give me input: something I type!!!!!
yed@rublan $ ~
