http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577977 I have just tried the above under Linux in Python 3.3, and it works fine. I have no way of testing it under Windows. > If you get the key, can you store it in a variable? You're new to programming, aren't you? :-) Yes you can store it in a variable. Anything that is returned can be stored in a variable. Here is an example: py> def example(): ... print("Press any character key... ") ... c = getch() ... print("You typed: '%c'" % c) ... py> example() Press any character key... You typed: 'y' The above is running under Python 3.3. > Also, is there a way to create a callback in Python? The answer to your question as you ask it is "Yes, naturally." Callback is short for *callback function* and describes the *purpose* of the function, not how you write it or what it does. But a better answer is, "A callback to what? It depends on what is doing the calling back." -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
