Tkinter KeyPress and KeyRelease events

by

Ok some more research found this helpful post which shows this is occuring because of X’s autorepeat behaviour. You can disable this by using

os.system('xset r off')

and then reset it using “on” at the end of your script.
The problem is this is global behaviour – not just my script – which isn’t great so I’m hoping someone can come up with a better way.
