Exactly. That's my motivation for getting involved here. Many novices want to know how to do something trivial like "press any key to continue", and having to explain the tty and termios modules, and all the stuff you have to go through to deal with edge cases that will affect even trivial programs, is painful. I would love to be able to give them a link to the docs and say:

    with consoleio.enabled():
        anykey = consoleio.getwch()
