Alan, I'm afraid I wasn't able to, using 
<http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/>. Especially because I 
couldn't test what I was coming up with. Could you do it for me, for 
this tiny script?

===============================
#!/usr/bin/env python
#coding=utf-8
import msvcrt
while True:
     if msvcrt.kbhit():
         key = msvcrt.getch()
         if key == "q":
                break
         elif key == "h":
                print "Hello"
         elif key == "b":
                print "Bye"
===============================
