I want to be able to check if somebody presses a number key (0 through 9), but only print the key once, and not receive any other inputs until the key is released.

I tried using pygame key events for this, but I could not get it to work for some reason, so instead I am using keyboard and a Boolean. To check for release I am utilizing pygame.event.get() and checking for KEYUP

Currently, the code prints the first number pressed, and then stops printing any other characters.

Here is the code snippet:

import pygame
import keyboard

pygame.init()

gamestate = True
pressing = False
clock = pygame.Clock()
print('')
while gamestate:
    for n in range(0, 9):
        if keyboard.is_pressed(f'{n}') and pressing == False:
            print(f'{n}')
            pressing = True
            break
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
            pressing = False
        


    clock.tick(60)

If it matters, I'm using pygame ce (pygame community edition) for other reasons and the regular python keyboard module.
