Non-blocking keybinds using threads
Project description
defKey
Non-blocking keybinds using threads.
Setup
- Download with
pip3 install defKey
- Import with
import defKey
Usage
defKey allows the binding of keys to Python functions. When activated, defKey spawns a new thread which catches all keypresses (thus breaking input()
) and, if they have been bound, spawns a new thread which executes the bound function. This is best for games and TUI programs.
Example
from defKey import defKey
def hello():
print("hello")
def goodbye():
print("goodbye")
def actualGoodbye():
defKey.stop()
defKey.bind("h", hello)
defKey.bind("g", goodbye)
defKey.bind("q", actualGoodbye)
defKey.start()
You must call defKey.stop()
before using input()
. Binds will be retained and defKey can be restarted after.
