Answer 1

You could store the selected number as a string and when enter is pressed convert the number to an int. More input validation would be needed, but this should give you the idea.

def keyDown(self,e):
    if e.keystring == "f2":                
        selectedNumber = ""
    elif e.keystring == "enter":
        print int(selectedNumber) # If you are only printing you don't need int()
        selectedNumber = ""
    else:
        selectedNumber += e.keystring
