class In(DirectObject):
    def __init__(self):
        base.buttonThrowers[0].node().setButtonDownEvent('bdown')
        base.buttonThrowers[0].node().setButtonUpEvent('bup')            

        self.accept('bdown', self.buttons,[True])
        self.accept('bup', self.buttons,[False])
        
    def buttons(self,but,tag):

Yes, this is a known issue. There is a fix on the cvs trunk (which will be part of the 1.7 release) that allows all keys to generate a button event.

You can probably catch the keystroke event that is generated today, though. Use base.buttonThrowers[0].node().setKeystrokeEvent().
