freeze_support ERROR (keyboard)

[SmartySmart702]

I have this error when I use the keyboard key print example script. If I work with the Gamepad listener everything works fine! I'm new to programing so I dont' know what this means.

Win 10 x64

`An attempt has been made to start a new process before the current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

    This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
    child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
    in the main module:

        if __name__ == '__main__':
            freeze_support()
            ...

    The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
    is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.`

Interesting, I have never seen that before. I will have a look.

Here is the whole Console Log. Maybe it helps you.

And here is the Code I'm trying to run (the spaces are correct but not here, don't know why).

import inputs from inputs import get_key while 1: events = get_key() for event in events: print(event.ev_type, event.code, event.state)

Anything new about this issue? I really like your library and it would be useful if I don't need an extra library for keyboard input :D

I met the same issue

This is expected on Windows. Just put it under

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while 1:
        events = get_key()
        if events:
            for event in events:
                print(event.ev_type, event.code, event.state)
