Command Line

I have a Server set up for my game, but I’d like to be able to have a command line. For example, if I need to shutdown the server, I can type something like ‘/shutdownmaintenance’, the server will notify all clients, and then exit cleanly. How could I do this without Panda or my code interfering?

Perhaps you could do a non-blocking sys.stdin.read() in a task:

If you would like a more cursis like environment you also also try urwid.org/
