What did you think that would do?
There is no control structure and no return value. Nothing is assigned
to anything. And none of the names are defined anywhere.
It makes no sense to me looking at it and it certainly doesn't make
sense to Python trying to execute it.
If you want to respond to keys you are going to have to either pass in
the keystroke to the function or read the keystroke inside the function.
How you do that depends on whether you are using a GUI, and if so which.
Whether you are using PyGame. Or if a CLI program which OS you are using.
Finally, from a user experience point of view, it might be more logical
to make the keys w,a,s,z North, West,East and South respectively since
its a more logical correspondence to the compass points (assuming a
standard QWERTY keyboard layout).
