Re: python pygame keyboard input

1 - On a virtual machine (Mageia 4) the program runs properly

2 - Python versions on Mageia and PI are 2.7.9 [GCC 4.9.2] 

3 - I tried:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 python tst.py    and
LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 python tst.py  but still have the same strange
behaviour with alphabetic characters.

4 - I'm not sure what you mean by "a virtual console away from xkb
and ...". The pygame module won't run in a non-graphic environment.
