Is it possible for python to accept input like this:

Folder name: Download

But instead of the user typing Download it is already there as a initial value. If the user wants to edit it as Downloads all he has to do is add a 's' and press enter.

Using normal input command:

folder=input('Folder name: ')

all I can get is a blank prompt:

Folder name:

Is there a simple way to do this that I'm missing?
