A little late to the game, but I wrote a library a couple years ago to do exactly this. It exposes both a pause() function with a customizable message and the more general, cross-platform getch() function inspired by this answer.

Install with pip install py-getch, and use it like this:

from getch import pause
pause()

This prints 'Press any key to continue . . .' by default. Provide a custom message with:

pause('Press Any Key To Exit.')

For convenience, it also comes with a variant that calls sys.exit(status) in a single step:

pause_exit(0, 'Press Any Key To Exit.')
