I believe your problem is the use of repr() when assigning to c:
>>> u'\x1a'
u'\x1a'
>>> c = u'\x1a'
>>> c == u'\x1a'
True
>>> repr(c)
"u'\\x1a'"
>>> repr(c) == u'\x1a'
False
>>>

I have tried a module called readchar to make a Python 2.7 script
detect keystrokes in Windows 7.
I found it via a link from Stack Overflow.
When <ctrl>z is pressed its output is printed in the console as
u'\x1a'
According to Python 2.7 its type is 'str'. Seeing that it is preceded
by a 'u', why is it not 'unicode'?
While it appears in the console as above, if it is assigned to a
variable ( c = repr(readchar.readkey()) )
and then the value of the variable is tested:
print c == u'\x1a'
the answer is 'False'
This does not make sense. What type of object is a keystroke?
Perhaps I need to find some other way for a Python script detect
keystrokes but I am confused as to what Python sees them as.
Any advice would be welcome.
