Hi all,
Im using the cmd module and i have command that loops and keeps on
printing text, what i want to be able to do is loop until the user
presses a particular key, say Q/q ? I tried the following code;
line = raw_input ("press q to abort")
while line[0] != "q":
""" keep printing text """
line = raw_input ("press q to abort")
but raw_input blocks for input until the newline char. So i then tried
the following code
import sys
chr = sys.stdin.read(1)
while chr != "q":
""" keep printing text """
chr = sys.stdin.read(1)
but again this blocks too.
is there a way to do this, wait for user input but dont block? I could
use a thread that just does the previous code block but i already have
three Thread classes, its just getting too complex with threads!
Cheers
