I am trying to create a box on the graphics window which asks a user for their name. My research led me to the "InputBox" function, which is said to "get user input, allowing backspace etc shown in a box in the middle of the screen" (but ignores the shift key?). I found several pages that refer to it, and one example on google, but it seems very cryptic to me, and I can't find any other help materials. I tried help(InputBox), tried to use the function itself, tried to search for it in the documentation on python.org, and tried to google it (InputBox, Python). I got a half-million websites talking about VBS and other versions of InputBox, and can't find one (besides the cryptic one) for python. Does this function exist? Or is it called something else? Can someone point me to an explanation/definition/simple example? Like I said, I am just trying to ask for a user name, it is nothing more (or less!) complicated than that.
Thanks for any pointers you might have! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
