The event is triggered when you enter a shape with the mouse
pointer, not when you press the key.
It seems you cannot associate keypress events with shapes, only with the
whole canvas.
Here is some code for you to play with.
import Tkinter
def turnRed(event):
canvas.itemconfigure("oval2", fill="red")
def turnYellow(event):
canvas.itemconfigure("oval2", fill="yellow")
def keypress(event):
print "you pressed return or enter"
if "oval2" in canvas.gettags("current"):
canvas.itemconfigure("current", fill="green")
root = Tkinter.Tk()
canvas = Tkinter.Canvas(root, width=100, height=100)
canvas.pack()
canvas.create_oval(10, 10, 20, 20, tags="oval1", fill="blue")
canvas.create_oval(50, 50, 80, 80, tags="oval2", fill="yellow")
canvas.tag_bind("oval2", "", turnRed)
canvas.tag_bind("oval2", "", turnYellow)
canvas.bind("", keypress)
canvas.bind("", keypress)
canvas.focus_set()
root.mainloop()
Try pressing Return with the mouse pointer over oval2 and elsewhere on the
canvas.
