Hey all,
I'm having a problem with using msvcrt.getch() . What I want is some
functionality like this:
print 'blah blah blah, good_input to do blah blah blah, exit_key to exit'
while input != exit_key:
input = get_input_from_getch()
if input == good_input:
print input
#do something
if input == bad_input:
#ask for new input
if input == exit_key:
pass
so, if the user's input is good, the input is printed to the screen and the
user is allowed to put in more input.
if the user's input is bad, the input is not printed to the screen and python
ignores the input.
if the user presses a designated key then the program continues.
for some reason, all I get when I try to implement getch() is python getting
stuck in an infinite loop and printing "ΓΏ" continuously. I tried using
msvcrt.kbhit() to wait for a key to be pressed before continuing to getch() but
it seems the program then skips the loop entirely.
I guess I just don't really understand how to use getch(). =(--
