Break a loop when pressing a key

I would like to stop a loop when I press the space key.

This is what I have tried:

def simulate(self):
    for x in range(self.repeat):
        if (keyboard.is_pressed('space')):
            break
        time.sleep(self.timer)
        keyboard.write(self.key)

Why is that not working?

What's `keyboard`? – Aran-Fey Aug 01 '17 at 10:46

Works as expected for me (on linux). Are you perhaps tapping the space key for a short time? Try holding it down until the loop stops. – Aran-Fey Aug 01 '17 at 10:54
@Rawing I am holding it down. Still doesn't work. I am on Windows. – Reza Saadati Aug 01 '17 at 10:58
