it's assigned to by the for-in loop, and is only used inside it.

I think you may "play" width curses library: readline() read... while you
input a "newline", but you need to catch single keys (the "TAB" key,
foremost)

Not sure what your trying to do, but it doesn't work. :)
valid doesn't exsist, and if you make vaid =
sys.stdin.readline().rstrip(), then answer doesn't exsist.
Either way, it doesn't take the tab tell after you hit enter, Not
really what i was getting at. What i want is like a bash shell prompt
On a gui on this would be a little bit easier but it's a completley
diffrent realm when doing it in the console. It makes it a little more
difficult when using stdin.readline() because you can only read line by
line. Here is my implmentation.
import sys
validanswers = [ 'yes', 'no', 'maybe', 'tue
Here is what i want to do. I have a question in my program, and i want
to do tab completion for the valid answers.
Say i have :
--snip--
validanswers = [ 'yes', 'no', 'maybe', 'tuesday', 'never' ]
#and i ask
sys.stdout.write("Answer the Question: ")
answer = sys.stdin.readline().rstrip()
if ans
