return multiple values by using class to take inputs from users

I would like to make a class for taking inputs from the user and then return all these inputs for later process. An example, after taking inputs from the users (filenames) then the program stores the names in list. The program later will load the list and perform the process based on each filename for one process.

More explanations:

My code:

class ReturnAllInput():
def __init__(self,Morefilenames, Yourfilename, YourJsonName, Outputname, NameWithin):
self.Morefilenames = Morefilenames
self.Yourfilename = Yourfilename
self.YourJsonName = YourJsonName
self.Outputname = Outputname
self.NameWithin = NameWithin

def allInput():

Morefilenames =
while True:
a = input("Please enter your Morefilenames " )
if a == "Complete":
break
else:
Morefilenames .append(a)
# user typed complete
print("You entered Morefilenames ".format(len(Morefilenames )))
for n in Morefilenames :
print('.txt'.format(n))

Yourfilename= input("Yourfilename")
YourJsonName= input("YourJsonName")
Outputname= input("Outputname")
NameWithin= input("NameWithin")

return ReturnAllInput(Morefilenames , Yourfilename, YourJsonName, Outputname, NameWithin)


for l in allinput(): #this is the section I do not know how to change it so that I could loop my return values of Morefilenames)
if __name__ == "__main__":


If my codes arent good enough, please do let me know so that I could improve more. I am still a beginner and would like to learn more. Thank you in advance.

if __name__ == '__main__': is just used when this python file is being used as a script to control the execution, see What does if __name__ == "__main__": do? and would normally be the outer control logic, e.g.:

if __name__ == '__main__':

if __name__ == '__main__':
for l in allinput():


allinput() returns the class, which isn't directly iterable. If you want to iterate over Morefilenames then reference that attribute, e.g.:

allinput()

Morefilenames

if __name__ == '__main__':
for l in allinput().Morefilenames:
print(l)


But you lose reference to you constructed class so it is probably better to separate these calls:

if __name__ == '__main__':
user_inputs = allinput()
for l in user_inputs.Morefilenames:
print(l)
