No. I can't think of any modern apps that use one character commands like that. One character plus a modifier (ctrl or alt generally) perhaps, but even there, it's mostly used in GUI applications. > Do you think that all these platform > independent code should be moved to the interpreter level instead Absolutely not! There's no need for it to be given a keyword or special syntax. But maybe there should be a standard library function for it. > (and > raises the appropriate error when the platform somehow cannot do > unbuffered input)? So python developer could do something like this: > > raw_input(bufferring = 0) No. Leave raw_input as it is. A better interface would be: import input_services c = input_services.get_char() Eventually the module could grow other services as well. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
