So now I have, thanks to Danny Yoo: ===================================== class _Getch: """Gets a single character from standard input. Does not echo to the screen.""" def __init__(self): try: self.impl = _GetchWindows() except ImportError: self.impl = _GetchUnix() def __call__(self): return self.impl() class _GetchWindows: def __init__(self): import msvcrt def __call__(self): import msvcrt return msvcrt.getch() c = 0 getch = _Getch() while True: c += 1 if getch == "k": break print c ================================================ No more errors, but it doesn't do what I wanted. More help, please. Dick Moores _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
