anyone know of a function like "raw_input", which collects a string
from the user entry, but one where I can set a time limit, as follows:
time_limit = 10 # seconds
user_answer = function_xyz("GIVE ME AN ANSWER: ", time_limit)
The problem with "raw_input" is that it will stop unattended script
indefinitely. I'm looking for a function that does the exact same
thing, but with a time limit feature, and preferably one that returns
an empty string ('') when it gets no response. Any suggestions?
