this will only work on a windows machine. It is from C++ runtime lib
msvcrt.dll
in py module
import msvcrt
while 1:
ch = msvcrt.getch() ## returns one char
if ch == 'Y' :
# do stuff or break
break
print "%d (%r)" % (ch, ch)
# also, kbhit() # returns true if char is available
# also, ungetch(ch) # undo char ch
