Is there some python module or commands that would allow me to make my python program enter a CLI text editor, populate the editor with some text, and when it exits, get out the text into some variable?
At the moment I have users enter stuff in using raw_input(), but I would like something a bit more powerful than that, and have it displayed on the CLI.
You could have a look at urwid, a curses-based, full-fledged UI toolkit for python. It allows you to define very sophisticated interfaces and it includes different edit box types for different types of text.
