Re: [pygame] event.get(), event.poll() only return keyup/keydown while mouse is moving

[luke p <rabidpoobear@xxxxxxxxx>]

are you calling __poll_pygame in a loop?  pygame.event.get() only gets
the currently queued keypresses, it doesn't just sit there getting
events.  You have to call it.  so maybe you are only calling
__poll_pygame when the mouse is moving or something of that sort.  By
the way, why are you using __'s for naming your functions? just
curious.
