Show default value for editing on Python input possible?

Is it possible for python to accept input like this: Folder name: Download But instead of the user typing "Download" it is already there as a initial value. If the user wants to edit it as "Downloads" all he has to do is add a 's' and press enter. Using normal input command: folder=input('Folder name: ') all I can get is a blank prompt: Folder name: Is there a simple way to do this that I'm missing?
The standard library functions input() and raw_input() don't have this functionality. If you're using Linux you can use the readline module to define an input function that uses a prefill value and advanced line editing: import readline def rlinput(prompt, prefill=''): readline.set_startup_hook(lambda: readline.insert_text(prefill)) try: return input(prompt) # or raw_input in Python 2 finally: readline.set_startup_hook()
