[Tutor] Error Message

[Britt Green]

Hello,

I'm new to programming and Python, and I'm getting an error message that I 
can't quite seem to work around. This is my code:

import msvcrt, sys

print"""
Type a key to see its ASCII value.
Hit the space bar to end.
"""

while 1: #1 is true, so loop forever
    key = msvcrt.getch()
    if key != ' ':
        # handle special keys; real code is second
        if (key == '\000') or (key ==  '\xe0'):
            key = msvcrt.getch()
        doKeyEvent(key)
    else:
        doQuitEvent(key)


def doKeyEvent(key):
    print ord(key)

def doQuitEvent(key):
    sys.exit()

After I save this and run it, Python replies with this:

Type a key to see its ASCII value.
Hit the space bar to end.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:/Program Files/Python20/Code/eventloop.py", line 14, in ?
    doKeyEvent(key)
NameError: There is no variable named 'doKeyEvent'

I'm stuck since doKeyEvent is a function, not a variable. Why doesn't Python 
recognize it as such?

Thanks,

Britt
