Enter to raw_input automatically

Question

Just as an example, it might seem illogical. I have a get_name function as below, and wanted to write a automated script to call this function and enter to the raw_inp

Answer 1

Another option is to make the input function a parameter, defaulting to raw_input:

def get_name(infunc=raw_input):
    name = infunc("Please enter your name : ")
    print "Hi " + name

Then for testing purposes you can pass in a function that does whatever you need:

get_name(lambda prompt: "John Smith")
