Pyget backend error with "on_key_press"

[Mike Lawrence]

I just switched from SDL2 to pyglet as my backend, and have the code:

    class myCanvas(vispyApp.Canvas):

        ... #init and other stuff here

        def on_key_press( self , event ):

            if event.key.name=='q': 

                #do stuff

which worked fine using SDL2 but now that I'm using pyglet I'm getting the error:

    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Mike,

There shouldn't be a difference between backends for this. Could you try running `print(type(event.key))` in the `on_key_press` method and let me know what it says? FYI you should be able to do `event.key == 'q'`. The `event.key` property should be of the class `Key` (https://github.com/vispy/vispy/blob/acc4c4b24ff4e628253641df887a6e58fbd24a8e/vispy/util/keys.py#L20). Also what version of vispy are you running?
