Easy Input Handler (Keyboard+Gamepad)

Hi everyone,
I’ve written this little InputHandler to simplify the use of Keyboard and Gamepad.
The main reason i’ve wrote this is because the gamepad hasn’t someting like just_released build in and i had to write it everytime again.But now this script supports a little bit more.

Usage:


import bge,Input

player_input = Input.InputHandler()
print(player_input.Key("jump",bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE))

Now you get no matter if the keyboard or the gamepad “jump” button or one of the button group is pressed.
The idea is that you have a dictionary where you define an action bind to an/multiple Keys.


{
    "gamepad":{
        "jump": "a",
        "sprint":{
            "key1":"lstick",
            "key2":"r2"
        }
    },
    "keyboard": {
        "jump":32,
        "sprint":{
            "key1":129
        }
    }
}

This dict is saved as json.
And because every gamepad has other mapping there is also a json dict for every controller where you can also define things like deadzone,inverted and strenght of an axis.
All those (at the beginning two ) files are saved to a subfolder of your blend named Keyconfig(you can also change the location for example when you create it )
If there is no such folder when init it will create it with the needed files.

I plan on writting an api for it but this will propably need a few days.

Hereis the module:
Tesed with blender 2.71

You can use/edit this however you want.
It would be nice if you tell me what you think or this should need.
