Pygame Escape key event is responding to Space key

Question

I am using "event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE" to pause the game. It pauses if I press esc key. But it is also pausing if I press Space key. And I don't want Space key to pause it. What should I do?

My codes:

if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
        if event.key == pygame.K_p or pygame.K_ESCAPE:
            if is_paused:
                is_paused = False
            elif not is_paused:
                is_paused = True
                playerY_change = 0

You may have an error on your if statement. You need to evaluate it like this:

if event.key == pygame.K_p or event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
