Sounds like you want the first, but just incase, here's both ways. Since both are used in different cases.
[1] For one jump per press: On the event: KEYDOWN , apply your velocity. [2] For continual acceleration while holding a key down: Use pygame.key.get_pressed ( http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/key.html#pygame.key.get_pressed ) Every X milliseconds you accelerate, while key is down.
