How can I handle the char immediately after its input, without waiting an endline?

Does not work on Windows, at least with 3.0, as tty fails trying to 
import termios.  There, use msvcrt module
"msvcrt.kbhit()
Return true if a keypress is waiting to be read.
msvcrt.getch()
Read a keypress and return the resulting character. Nothing is echoed to 
the console. This call will block if a keypress is not already 
available, but will not wait for Enter to be pressed. If the pressed key 
was a special function key, this will return '\000' or '\xe0'; the next 
call will return the keycode. The Control-C keypress cannot be read with 
this function.
