Can I write in a user input in Python? [duplicate]

Question

I would like to add a "default value" to an input().

Something like this:

>>> x = input("Enter a number: ", value="0")
Enter a number: 0

So that the user can edit it, like the value attribute in html <input>

I tried using pyautogui:

import pyautogui

def input_value():
    x = input("Enter a number: ")
    pyautogui.hotkey("0")return x

But naturally it doesn't work because pyautogui.hotkey() is called after input().

Is there any way to do this?

Take a look at pyinputplus for enhanced input() functionality. If the online documentation isn't enough, you can also read Automate the Boring Stuff with Python for a good guide on using the module

https://pypi.org/project/PyInputPlus/

All input functions have the following parameters: default (str, None): A default value to use should the user time out or exceed the number of tries to enter valid input.
