I had thought the on_key_press one was to check when a key was pressed and the update function checked whether a key was held down. Is that right? :/

        Is it possible to have both of these in a program? I have:

        @window.event
        def on_key_press(symbol, modifiers):
            if symbol == key.ESCAPE:
            return pyglet.event.EVENT_HANDLED

        def update(dt):
            if keys[key.W]:
                print "hi"
                code....

        But only the on_key_press function is recognised. Would it be
        better to have one or the other?


    That is certainly possible, you just need to schedule the
    update(dt) function to be called -- it's not an event handler
    that's automatically handling some event like on_key_press(...) is.

    Though as Adam already alluded to, just because it's possible
    doesn't mean it's necessarily the best way to do it.

Personally, I set a flag in on_key_press and unset it in on_key_release.
