The keyboard module I currently have access to is a wrapper for the wx
keyboard handler, which is fine, but it prevents me from holding one key and
pressing another.
So use raw wx key events. They include key down,up and press events.
I thought of using Pygame to pull this off, but I gather from my research
that I can't just use certain pieces of Pygame; in order to get the
functionality I want out of the keyboard module, I'll need other modules as
well. I don't want to work specifically in Pygame, because I've heard Pygame
is quite bloated and requires a good deal of overhead. (I wouldn't mind
being proven wrong on this)
Bloated carries the connotation of unnecessary code, but pygame provides
a lot of functionality. You may not need it all, and using pygame may
require you to import more than you need. But thats not quite the same
as saying pygame is bloated.
And its not that huge that it should stop you using it.
If it works, why not?
All of which leads me to my question. Can anyone recommend a keyboard module
which will allow me to work with various facets of the keyboard to execute
functions.
Since you mentioned wx I assume thats the GUI you are using.
If not you can also investigate Tkinter which likewise traps keyboard
events and might be considered slightly easier to use.
