"""Static convenience function to get an input from the user using a
dialog. The dialog will be modal.
The input_data is a dictionary which contains information on how to build
the input dialog. It **must** contains the following keys:
- *prompt* <str>: message to be displayed
The following are optional keys (and their corresponding default values):
- *title* <str> (doesn't have default value)
- *key* <str> (doesn't have default value):
a label to be presented left to the input box represeting the label
- *unit* <str> (doesn't have default value):
a label to be presented right to the input box representing the units
- *data_type* <str or sequence> ('String'):
type of data to be requested. Standard
accepted data types are 'String', 'Integer', 'Float', 'Boolean',
'Text'. A list of elements will be interpreted as a selection.
Default TaurusInputPanel class will interpret any custom data types as
'String' and will display input widget accordingly. Custom
data types can be handled differently by supplying a different
input_panel_klass.
- *minimum* <int/float> (-sys.maxint):
minimum value (makes sence when data_type is 'Integer' or 'Float')
- *maximum* <int/float> (sys.maxint):
maximum value (makes sence when data_type is 'Integer' or 'Float')
- *step* <int/float> (1):
step size value (makes sence when data_type is 'Integer' or 'Float')
- *decimals* <int> (1):
number of decimal places to show (makes sence when data_type is
'Float')
- *default_value* <obj> (doesn't have default value):
default value
- *allow_multiple* <bool> (False):
allow more than one value to be selected (makes sence when data_type
is a sequence of possibilities)
