my code:
f = open("log.txt", "a")
key = chr(event.Ascii)
f.write(key)
f.closed
If I print the key out. I get a nice readable form like "a" "b" "c" and so on. But i if look into the file python has saved it as ascii - like that: 0013 0200 4461
I tried to convert it but i just get errors. Anybody knows whats wrong here?
I think you need f.close() not f.closed.
Also, you are putting the key code in key.
If you want to read a single char, you could use:
sys.stdin.read(1)
(See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/510404/103081)
Putting it all together:
import sys
f = open("log.txt", "a")
key = sys.stdin.read(1)
f.write(key)
f.close()
This should be fine for a homework problem or learning python on your own. For someone writing a keylogger to steal password and credit card numbers, though, this is useless because return must be hit to get the input.
