Pause

The pause functions force Python to wait until a user resumes.

This can be used to show valuable information before and/or after the pause.

Show Values

This allows values to be displayed while paused

import inputapi as inp

inp.otherFunc.pause.showValue()

Parameters

Parameter	data type	default	purpose
*values	Any	No default	The values to be displayed on pause
clearOnLoad	boolean	False	Clears terminal before pausing
clearWhenDone	boolean	False	Clears terminal when resuming

Standard

This just pauses, it does not take values.

import inputapi as inp

# Method 1
inp.pause()

# Method 2
inp.otherFunc.pause.standard()

Parameters

Parameter	data type	default	purpose
clearOnLoad	boolean	False	Clears terminal before pausing
clearWhenDone	boolean	False	Clears terminal when resuming

Clear Screen

Clearing the screen works because of os.system() being able to call the clear and cls commands.

The clear command works for MacOS and GNU/Linux but cls only works for Windows.

Automatic

Will clear the terminal regardless on operating system by figuring out what OS is currently running.

import inputapt as inp

# Method 1
inp.clearScreen()

# Method 2
inp.otherFunc.clearScreen.auto()

Manual

This allows you to pick what operating system command to be used. This doesn't provide much use in the wild.

import inputapi as inp

inp.otherFunc.clearScreen.manual()

Parameter	data type	default	Valid Values	purpose
OS	string	required	windows, macos, or linux (Case insensitive)	What OS command you want to be used
