Have you tried using a form that sends a POST request to the server along with the command data? You can use AJAX to avoid re-rendering. — adrianp, Jun 23 '20 at 14:55

templates/contact.html

<form action="/contact" method="POST">
  <textarea type="text" name="msg"></textarea>
  <label>Messege</label>
  <button type="submit" class="button buttonBlue">
  Submit
  </button>
</form>

app.py
Data is stored in the msg variable and you can send a response based on that

@app.route('/contact', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def contact():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        msg = request.form.get('msg')
    return render_template("contact.html")

Thanks Gaurav, but issue is that I'm modifying the source code of an library which gets user input on command terminal using input function. I'm trying to capture that command terminal input into UI. – user3319471 Jun 23 '20 at 14:40
