That's not a very helpful response, since it doesn't address the OP's request. Patrick, the operating system "interrupt current process" keyboard signal will cause Python to raise a 'KeyboardInterrupt' exception, which unless caught will propagate back to the top-level Python process and exit the program with a traceback. On most operating systems, you can send this signal to the current foreground process with the key combination Ctrl+C. I think that's what Benjamin's laconic response is implying. As for "detect a specific keypress", there's no OS-independent way to do that. You'll need to write code that depends on a particular way of getting at keypresses that won't work on all operating systems. -- \ "Those who write software only for pay should go hurt some | `\ other field." -- Erik Naggum, in _gnu.misc.discuss_ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
