Creating a Terminal Program with Python

Question

I recently started learning python. I have created some basic webapps with Django and wrote some simple scripts. After using VIM as a Python IDE I really fell I love with \"Term

Answer 1

THe simplest way to do an interactive console application would be:

while True:
    command = raw_input('command? ').strip()
    if command == 'say_hello':
        print('Hello')
    elif command == 'other_thing':
        print('Doing something else')
    elif command == 'quit':
        break
    else:
        print('Invalid Command.')

That's the basic structure. If you want something more vim-like, you'll probably need to use the curses library.
