Handling yes/no questions from the User

[claes_lillieskold]

I'm writing a scipt that need to interact with the user.
Lets say I have the:

"Do you want to continue [Y|n]"

Where just pressing return means Yes (since its uppercase).

Its easy to write a function for this, but perhaps something like this
already exists. Could someone point me to a class that handles this
kind of user interaction?

I think a class would be overkill. I could see making this into a
reusable function perhaps.

I just use some code like this (with the '*' indicating the default):

ok = False
while True:
user_input = raw_input("\nUse this file (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit)
?").strip().lower()

if not user_input or user_input == 'y':
ok = True
break

elif user_input == 'q':
print "Exiting."
sys.exit(0)

elif user_input == 'n':
break

else:
print "Please enter 'y', 'n', or 'q'"
