Or without indexing:

for c in "string":
  print c

However I'm not sure if thats what Nathan meant.

If you mean how do you read a string of characters 
from a file use read() with a size of 1.

If you mean from stdin then it depends on the platform. 
Use curses for Linux/MacOS or use msvcrt. 
In both cases the function is getch()
