Did you mean "telnet" or did you mean "local terminal"? For a local
terminal, the following demo script should give you a starting point:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import select
import termios
import tty
timeout = 0.0 # nonzero to wait that long for keypress
save_attrs = termios.tcgetattr(sys.stdin.fileno())
# save terminal settings for restoration--note that this script
# doesn't currently trap CTRL/C, so settings will not be properly
# restored if that is hit
tty.setcbreak(sys.stdin.fileno())
# or can use setraw to block CTRL/C
while True :
(input_ready, _, _) = select.select((sys.stdin,), (), (), timeout)
if sys.stdin in input_ready :
break
#end if
sys.stdout.write("Running...\n")
#end while
termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin.fileno(), termios.TCSAFLUSH, save_attrs)
sys.stdout.write("Finished.\n")
