How to get and handler a key hold event?

[siy tong]

The cocos2d only supply on_key_press and on_key_release event hanlder ?

I am making a rpg game . I want to move the sprite when I hold a key .

How to implement that function?

Actually what you need is probably what's used in the platformer test (test/test_platformer.py).
First, import key:

    from pyglet.window import key

then get a key state handler:

    keyboard = key.KeyStateHandler()
    director.window.push_handlers(keyboard)

and then you can do something like:

    if keyboard[key.SPACE]:
        print "the space key is being held!"

Or you could just track the pressing and releasing of keys.
