How do you keep an input string from printing if you have not told it to print

How do you keep an input string from printing if you have not told it to print. This:

class o():
    row = int(input("Select number > "))

will print out 'Select number even if i have not told it to print.

and this:

class o():
def select(self,row):
    row = int(input("Select number > "))

pracObj = o()
o.select(self,row)

will give me an error.

and if I place the input outside the class it still prints.

You're on the right track. Try this:

class o():
    def select(self):
        row = int(input('Number > '))
        return row

pracObj = o()
row = pracObj.select()
print(row)

You create an instance of the class with

pracObj = o()

Now, pracObj is the instance, and you can access its methods as you please:

row = pracObj.select()

will return the value of the input to the variable row.

The input function will print whatever you have in quotes. To have it "not print anything" you just need to call it without any text.

row = int(input())

To get your behavior of sometimes printing, you can split it up like this

if wantToPrint:  # where wantToPrint is some bool
    print("Select number >")
row = int(input())
