Question

I was wondering how do I get a key pressed in python

I tried doing:

import msvcrt as keys
while True:
    key = keys.getch()
    if key == "a":
        print("You have pressed a") 

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

This might help you:

import msvcrt
while True:
    if msvcrt.kbhit() and msvcrt.getch() == chr(97): # chr(97) = 'a'
        print("You have pressed a")

Note: your code and my code won’t work in many Python IDE’s! You need to execute the python file, e.g. in a command window.
