printing problem

[sanjay pradeep]

hi i want to grab 3 characters and print
them out as they are entered with no space in
between. the following program waits till
all 3 characters are printed, and then prints,
which is close to what i want but not quite.
	

#!/usr/local/bin/python
#  import posix
import string
import curses
def reader():
    win = curses.initscr()
    s = win.getch('noecho')

# tty-example-2.py

import sys

try:
    # windows or dos
    import msvcrt
    getkey = msvcrt.getch
except ImportError:
    # assume unix
    import tty, termios, TERMIOS
    def getkey():
        file = sys.stdin.fileno()
        mode = termios.tcgetattr(file)
        try:
            tty.setraw(file, TERMIOS.TCSANOW)
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(file, TERMIOS.TCSANOW,
mode)
        return ch
def main():
    horky=['y','e','s']
    borky=horky
    alpha=range(3)
    for count in alpha:
      jerk=getkey()
      print jerk,;sys.stdout.softspace=0;
      borky[count]=jerk
      
main()


thanks!
