Hello!
I made a script for an interactive python console in bge (like many others before)
and its working somehow,
but when i want to assign something to a variable it gives me a syntax error

File “<string>”, line 1
own[“test”] = 1

or

Python script error - object ‘Text’, controller ‘Python’:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “Console”, line 172, in <module>
File “Console”, line 34, in main
File “<string>”, line 1
a = 1
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

print(“hello”)
and simple math works

can somebody help me out

her is the code

import bge

def main():

cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.owner

keyboard = cont.sensors["Keyboard"]

if alphabet not in own:
    alphabet(own,0,32)
    
    
if keyboard.positive:
   
    if [125,2] in keyboard.events:
        modif = 2
    elif [129,2] in keyboard.events:
        modif = 1
    else:
        modif = 0   
    
    for x in keyboard.events:
       if x[1] == 1:
            print (keyboard.events)
            current_key = x[0]
            
           
            if current_key in [133,13]:
                
                if current_key == 13:
                    command = str (own["Text"]) 
                    own["Text"] = ""
                    own["Text"] = str(eval(command))
                    
                    
                
                    
                if current_key == 133:

Just in case you were interested, the novus terra source includes an in-game console. It leverages the work done by someone else in the past, which you can probably find in the resources forum (it’s from 2007 or some time around it)
