raw_input in python without pressing enter

Question

I\'m using raw_input in Python to interact with user in shell.

c = raw_input(\'Press s or n to continue:\')
if c.upper() == \'S\':
    print \'Y

Under Windows, you need the msvcrt module, specifically, it seems from the way you describe your problem, the function 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.

(etc -- see the docs I just pointed to). For Unix, see e.g. this recipe for a simple way to build a similar getch function (see also several alternatives &c in the comment thread of that recipe).
