was wondering if anyone knows how I can represent control-D as output using
python. Firstly, I do not know the special string used to represent the
control key and secondly, I would have to automate both the control and the
d characters be pressed together. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Ctrl-A through Ctrl-Z generally translate to ASCII characters 1-26 in order,
so Ctrl-D is ASCII character 4.

chr(4)

might do what you want, but might not, too.  Programs can choose to only
treat Ctrl-D specially if the input stream comes from a terminal.
