python3 - lolcat

[arlidge]

Hello - I have a script in python3 where I am requiring user input.

in the script I have this line :

name = input('What is your name ')

When I pipe the script to lolcat - python3 name.py | lolcat

The text "What is your name" does not appear. It is just blank. I can still continue with the required input and then the output is all lolcat.

I can also solve with a print("What is your name") above the input

Without lolcat it functions normally.

Please advise.

Rather than piping your script into lolcat you may want to
call out to lolcat (via subprocess module) from inside your script,
capture the output and print it to the screen.

Sorry, can not provide more detailed scripting support here.
