Two files: 1 - Code to get user input for the rest of the main script, 2 - console output. Why is the console output "slow"?

1_get_user_input.py

default_flag = 'y'


def get_input(prompt, default_value, default_flag_=default_flag, print_=True):
    print()
    answer = input(prompt)

    if answer == default_flag_:
        answer = default_value

    if print_:
        logger.info(answer)

    return answer


print('-------------------------------------------------------------------------')
print('All input paths need to be entered now. Enter {} to use the default path.'.format(default_flag))
print('-------------------------------------------------------------------------')

batching_data_path = get_input('Batching file: ', 'Batching Data_2016_M1-M4.xlsx')
customisable_input_path = get_input('Customizable Excel input sheet: ', 'Inputs.xlsx')
production_data_path = get_input('Production data (modelling sheet): ', 'modelling_d01.xlsx')
kpi_data_path = get_input('KPI sheet: ', 'KPI data sheet.xlsx')

print('-------------------------------------------------------------------------')
print()

2_console_output.py

All input paths need to be entered now. Enter y to use the default path.
