In Windows, you can use the msvcrt module.

msvcrt.kbhit() Return true if a keypress is waiting to be read.

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.

If you want it to also work on Unix-like systems you can try this solution using the termios and fcntl modules.
