How to detect key presses with Python?
To detect key presses with Python, we can use the keyboard
package.
To install it, we run
pip3 install keyboard
Then we can use it by writing
import keyboard
while True:
try:
if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
print('You Pressed A Key!')
break
except:
break
to create an infinite while loop to check if the q key is pressed.
If it’s pressed, then we print a message and stop the loop with break
.
If there’s an exception raised, we also stop the loop with break
.
