Sometimes, we want to use raw_input without pressing enter in Python.

In this article, we’ll look at how to use raw_input without pressing enter in Python.

How to use raw_input without pressing enter in Python?

To use raw_input without pressing enter in Python, we can use the pynput library.

To install it, we run

pip install pynput

Then we use it by writing

from pynput import keyboard

print('Press s or n to continue:')

with keyboard.Events() as events:
    event = events.get(1e6)
    if event.key == keyboard.KeyCode.from_char('s'):
        print("hello")

We use keyboard.Events to create an event object.

Then we get the keyboard event with

event = events.get(1e6)

We then check if the s key pressed with

event.key == keyboard.KeyCode.from_char('s')

If it is, then we print 'hello'.

Otherwise, pynput will block the program until s is pressed.

Conclusion

To use raw_input without pressing enter in Python, we can use the pynput library.
