How do i see if a key is pressed down using Pynput in Python?

Question

I want to (by using Pynput in Python) see if a key is pressed down. For example: while True: if #key alt is pressed down: print("Alt is pressed down")

Its in the docs... https://pypi.org/project/pynput/ , pynput.keyboard.Listener — Rambarun Komaljeet, Jan 27 '19 at 09:43

To install pynput in python use following command

pip install pynput

And to check if a key alt is pressed below is my code, for more details refer to the link

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener

def on_press(key):
    print('{0} pressed'.format(
        key))

with Listener(
        on_press=on_press) as listener:
    listener.join()

Will this work if the key is pressed before the script is run ? – user1502776 May 18 '20 at 22:48
