[pygame] newbie

[<snet-1@xxxxxxx>]

Hi guys.

I'm new to python and programming in general so expect noob questions :.)

I've got up to classes & functions & having problems getting round a little 
input problem.

I've put my keyboard controls in a separate module from the pygames main 
loop and my 'character' in another module.
When I was putting it all in one file, if I held left my 'character' carried 
on moving left, but now it will only move the specified amount of pixels 
then stop.



character:                                    main loop: 
Keyboard controls:
   def update(self, d, sp):            while True: 
def controls():
       if d == 6:                                   D = Keyboard controls 
output = 0
           self.x += sp                           ball.update(D, 1) 
for event in pygame.event.get():
       elif d == 4: 
if event.type == QUIT:
           self.x -= sp 
pygame.quit()
       elif d == 8: 
sys.exit()
           self.y -= sp
       elif d == 2: 
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
          self.y += sp 
if event.key == K_RIGHT:
                                                                            
                                                               output = 6
                                                                            
                                                          ............
                                                                            
                                                       if event.type == 
KEYUP:
                                                                            
                                                          if event.key == 
K_RIGHT:
                                                                            
                                                             output = 0
                                                                            
                                                        return output

Any sudjestions would be greatly appreciated
