Jump to PostLook at KeyboardInterrupt in the Python reference. Right now, I don't have a good example. I try to work on one!
Jump to PostSo far I have only found one function that will work during the active sleep() ...
import time import msvcrt time.sleep(10) # prints the key value during sleep if msvcrt.kbhit(): print msvcrt.getch()
Edit:
Ouch! The IDE fooled me! This does not make sense, forget it! Sorry!
