Read through the other issues....your problem (mine also) was solved in Issue #2. Use Rupert Li's fork.

[MikeTheToolman]

Yes. I see. I’m new to Python, Github, and the various processes involved. I don’t have getkey installed. I can manually download the files as outlined but I’m not clear on what to do with them. For instance, where do the files go? Having the files in the appropriate location, to install do I open a cmd window in the directory where getkey and setup.py are located and enter “Python setup.py install”? And that’s it? There are dozens of copies of “setup.py” in my system. I don’t get that.

Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out!! If the package by KC Saff was OK, you would install it with "pip3 install getkey" without even doing a download (pip knows what to do, it's magic!) Rupert fixed her getkey() by adding a tiny snippet to handle UTF-8 encoding.....hers won't install without that. Since KC's package is the one that's "registered" as the 'proper' getkey, to use Rupert's corrected version you have to go to his githjub (li-rupert) and download his and then manually install it. Then, in whatever folder it was downloaded to, you un-zip it. Now, in that getkey folder, where "setup.py" is, start a command shell and run "python3 setup.py install" The installed software will go into your python installation......I did a 'custom' python install and put mine in C:\python37 Installed Packages go into Lib\site-packages -- so mine went to C:\python37\Lib\site-packages\getkey Once the package is installed, you can delete the folders and zips that you downloaded.

I have another "issue" with getkey that you may be able to help me with. When I play around with it using PyScriptor, when debug gets to "key = getkey()" platforms.py opens. Why does that happen instead of progressing to the next line? Thanks, Mike

Ah. I'm doing the beginner thing. I'm not being clear enough. PyScriptor is the open source Python IDE that I found to fiddle around with programming. I don't believe there's any problem with it but I suppose it's possible. The "problem" is when debug gets to the line "key = getkey()" one of getkey's files, platforms.py, opens. Does that happen to you?

Does the code run properly without the debugger? Is the debugger "stepping into" the imported modules? You may want to "step over" lines that call code in other files. (MS VisualStudio terminology....PyScriptor may call it something else) also some debuggers step 'into' and 'over' code with 2 different keystrokes, others use a setting and just one 'step' keystroke -- if that makes sense Maybe I'll install pyscriptor and see for myself.....i've been debugging the old fashioned way: lots of iterations and lots of swearing!!
