I would appreciate help on finding a solution to following problem. This
is the general structure of the "problem" code:
> while True
> # Get some data from the web and process it
> ...
> ...
> # Write these data to a file
> ...
> ...
> # Check if a_key has been pressed in the command window
> ...
> ...
> if a_key_pressed:
> # Perform some pre-termination tasks
> ...
> ...
> # Close the output data file
> ...
> ...
> raise SystemExit('Exit')
I am running the code with Python 3.6 on a windows 10 platform. I have
tried many approaches (mainly those posted on stackoverflow) but I have
yet to find an approach that works for this structure.
Note:
1) The code is executed in the windows 10 command window
2) I am not using wxPython, IDLE, or pyGame in this application.
3) The time to get the data, process it and write it to a file can
take from 0.5 sec to 1.5 sec
4) The key hit need not be echoed to the command window
