Sounds like you can't, except perhaps by detecting
three '0' key events arriving at almost the same

I once announced that I would be working on releasing 2.4.7 this month.
However, since no patches have been committed to 2.4.6, there is little
point in making a release. As 2.4 is nearing its end-of-life soon, there

Python 2.5 has seen only two patches since 2.
Hello all,

This requires python 2.7, because it requires a newer ve
