Re: [pygame] Problems with getting keyboard input.

John,

Thanks, that's helped. I guess it's a syntactical thing then: what use does 'is' serve? I assumed it was directly equivalent to '==', but it looks like I was wrong. Secondly, why does using 'is' work with K_ESCAPE and K_SPACE but not with K_UP?

It seems a little illogical, unless I'm missing something.

Cheers.
