If I understand you correctly you want to exit a while loop with the ESC key. That can be done but it depends on the platform. For Windows use this: (not tested) import msvcrt while something: if msvcrt.kbhit() and msvcrt.getch() == chr(27): break In Linux you need to install getch: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/getch Download it here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/getch#downloads Extract the tar.gz file. A directory called getch-1.0 will be created. Open a terminal in that directory and enter this... sudo python setup.py install Here is a code example: (tested) import getch while something: if getch.getch() == '\x1b': break -- <Wildman> GNU/Linux user #557453 May the Source be with you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
