If you want users to interact with your Python app, you'll need some way to get their input.

In this video, you'll learn 4 different ways your Python app can get input from the outside world — directly from the terminal, from a command line, from a file on your computer, and over the internet.

This video is part of a beginner tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn Python from scratch, and get to a point where you can start coding your own projects.
