enhanced-input

Python "input" module enhancements, such as combining colorama and updates to johejo's "inputimeout" library.

This repo was based off johenjo's inputtimeout implementation. However, since that repo is a public archive, and there are other ways I want to handle timed-out inputs, I decided to create my own variation. In addition, this repo library also includes the employment of colorama as optional styling. (Currently, version 0.1.0 of this library only supports text color and not background colors.)

Version 0.1.0
