Hi Dick!
I'm not on Windows here so this might be a wild guess.

 From the documentation I gather that msvcrt can work either on binary 
or text mode.
Perhaps you operate in the wrong one and need to switch with 
msvcrt.setmode(/)

Anyway, insert some print lines to see what exactly is it that /getch() 
gets and debug from there
