keyboard Interaction

4 New Member
Hi, so I'm veryyyyyy new to python and have been trying to teach myself,
but I have no idea how to do anything with user interaction other than raw_input, so if you have any ideas on how to cause different events based on a user using the arrow keys or clicking please help!
Thank you very much in advance!!!

It sounds like you're wanting a GUI type of thing. There are several that work quite well. I don't personally use them much.

TKinter is the de facto standard for python, from what I understand.

Qt is also popular, although not entirely free (as it free speech) from what I understand.

If it's gaming you're after, then I believe there are gaming modules out there too. Probably pygame would be the place to start.

As an aside, IMO, GUI is relatively advanced coding - if you're learning coding, you might want to learn other basics first? On the other hand, that might just be because I personally mostly don't do GUI coding...
