I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. What i want to do is have my python program respond as soon as a key is pressed and not have to wait for the enter key to be pressed. Whats the best way of doing this ? Regards Martin Stevens -- Budgester Technologies Ltd Office : 01992 718568 Mobile : 07815 982380 mailto:martin@budgester.com http://www.budgester.com
