python pygame keyboard input

[E.S. Rosenberg]

Did you try changing it?
It is pretty clear from those local variables that you have a nice DE
sitting on your mageia  box customized for Hebrew/English use while
the rPI is just a vanilla install (en_GB).
Did you try running your python script on a virtual console away from
xkb and all the other things aiming to help you with multiple-language
input options?
Did you try running it while making sure your locale variables are all
C/en_US.utf-8?
And again are the python versions you are using on each platform matching?
