Hey @hackebrot, any updates on that topic?

I seem to run into the same problem of @aryamccarthy. During the cookiecutter CLI “question” process I occasionaly have to hit the backspace - which messes up the variables.

For every backspace I get an ? into the variable name. Assuming that my repo is named my_repo but I first wrote my_repu and hit backspace one to change it to my_repo, cookiecutter will give me my_repo?u instead of my_repo.

I hope this makes the issue a bit clearer.

Cheers Joshua
