Custom prompt suffix?

[tcb678]

I'd like to create a custom "console" using Rich that asks for input from the user, but I want that input to have a custom prompt_suffix. It looks as if that isn't supported, and even creating a new Prompt() and changing the suffix doesn't have any impact. Am I missing something obvious or should this be a feature request?

What have you tried?

>>> n = Prompt.ask("Hello")
Hello: foo
>>> n = Prompt.ask("Hello", prompt_suffix=">")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: ask() got an unexpected keyword argument 'prompt_suffix'
>>> n = Prompt()
>>> n.prompt_suffix
': '
>>> n.prompt_suffix = ">>> hello > "
>>> n.prompt_suffix = ">>> hello > "
>>> n.prompt_suffix
'>>> hello > '
>>> n.ask("Hi")
Hi: foo

I think what I want is a setter on prompt_suffix and the ability to modify prompt_suffix on all Prompt.ask().

Try this...

class PyPrompt(Prompt):
    prompt_suffix = ">>> hello > "
