Hello,
I am running Python 3.6 in a Window 7 environment. I have a python script that
I am trying to run from the command line.
The script is from a Learning to Program file demonstrating event driven
programming. I have copied it to a file named Ascii Keys.py into my user
directory c:\Users\Rex
I try to execute the file by typing python Ascii Keys.py at the command line
and receive the following message:
python: can't open file 'Ascii': [errno2] no such file or directory
I expected the python .py file to open and run.
I check with the path command and receive among other paths these to paths to
Python.
c:\Users\Rex/AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
c:\Users\Rex/AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32
I also load python from c:\Users\Rex and try running Ascii Keys from >> and get
the following error:
File "<stdin>", line 1
Ascii Keys
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Why doesn't python open my file?
Also, in windows explorer, I tried to find the above paths and could not see
AppData under c:\Users\Rex
What am I missing here?
import msvcrt
import sys
# First the event handlers
def doKeyEvent(key):
if key == '\x00' or key == '\xe0':
key = msvcrt.getch()
print ( ord(key), ' ', end='')
sys.stdout.flush() # make sure it appears on screen
def doQuit(key):
print() # force a new line
raise SystemExit
# first clear some screen space
lines = 25
for n in range(lines): print()
# Now the main event-loop
while True:
ky = msvcrt.getch()
if len(str(ky)) != 0:
# we have a real event
if " " in str(ky):
doQuit(ky)
else:
doKeyEvent(ky)
