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         


        

Answer 1

Actually in the meantime (almost 10 years from the start of this thread) a cross-platform module named pynput appeared. Below a first cut - i.e. that works with lowercase 's' only. I have tested it on Windows but I am almost 100% positive that it should work on Linux.

from pynput import keyboard

print('Press s or n to continue:')

with keyboard.Events() as events:
    # Block for as much as possible
    event = events.get(1e6)
    if event.key == keyboard.KeyCode.from_char('s'):
        print("YES")
