I looked at it without trying it out yet... in the example case
given, I didn't know if it actually returned 'space' or whether it
actually returned a space char.
As strings are immutable in python, i'm using character arrays for
text input (since I need to be able to add and delete characters in
the text buffer without having to create a new string for each
entry). Per the pygame docs, the pygame.key.name() method returns a
string. Perhaps the right question was, then, how to convert a
string to a char.

Hi Gabriel -
It sounds like you're looking for pygame.key.name(): http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_key.html
cheers... -- jascha

Hello all,
This is more a pygame issue than VisionEgg, but here goes anyway...
As the GUI functions aren't working on OS X, I'm writing my own dialog box input routines.
As such, I'm checking for valid input using the pygame.event.poll() method, and checking against the pygame constants.
Is there a quick-and-dirty way of converting pygame constants to their appropriate character representations?
Otherwise, it's a case of writing a functions such as:
def convertKeypressToChar(keypress): pl = pygame.locals if keypress == pl.K_0: return '0' elif keypress == pl.K_1: return '1' elif keypress == pl.K_2: return '2' elif keypress == pl.K_3: return '3' elif keypress == pl.K_4: return '4' elif keypress == pl.K_5: return '5' (and so forth, for EACH key....)
Any ideas?
