Does Python require interactive shell?

Question

I am working on building a game that may require an interactive shell. I do not see anything here that allows for this to happen. Do I really need it to build something with Python?

Answer 1

You can use any language to wait user input and handle it.
Do you need a python shell in your game? Or just handle what the player will type?

Answer 2
