Installation using pip
======================

.. code:: bash

    pip install ricekey

Usage:
======

After you have installed the package, check that its working by running
the module directly. This will demonstrate an example keypress kill event.

.. code:: bash

    cd /path/to/ricekey-package/src/ricekey/
    python ricekey.py

Below is an example of how you can use ricekey to stop your main thread if you need to:

.. code:: python

    from ricekey import kbcontrol
    from riceprint import ConsolePrinter, pprint, tprint, progressbar
    cp = ConsolePrinter()
    import threading
    import time

    # Start the keypress monitoring thread
    thread = threading.Thread(target=kbcontrol, args=())
    thread.start()

    # While the thread is alive, do something.
    i = 0
    while thread.isAlive():
       c = cp.palette.colors[i % 16]
       progressbar(i%100, 100, color=c, char='\u2587', lend='|', rend='|')
       time.sleep(0.01)
       i+=1

    pprint('Done! I hope you use this package!', 'dm')
