i appreciate your comments and ideas. Dennis told exactly what i tried
to say :), code seems to be fine but during sleep action i think the
above code does not execute
if q.empty(): break #no input since start of sleep
while not q.empty():
chars.append(q.get())
i need something, while sleeping, executes the function that waits for
input from keyboard.
i imagined something like that, i have a queu, it both stores the keys
that pressed and pressing times of these keys, then i`ll proccess these
times. here is scenario
input : 5
after 10 seconds later input 5 is being proccessed
return back to main function
input : 1
after 5 seconds , other input 5
after 5 more seconds , 15 is being proccessed
Thanks.
