Check out the event driven programming page on my web tutor which
shows a simple example of reading key presses both in command
terminal mode and using Tkinter.

The terminal code is in QBASIC but similar code can be written
in Python using the getch() function found within the curses(*nix)
or mvcrt(windoze) modules.
