On Unix, you need to use termios.tcsetattr() to disable "canonical mode". Otherwise, the tty driver will only pass data up to the application when the user enters a newline or EOF. If you do this, you also need to handle SIGTSTP and SIGCONT, restoring the original terminal settings on SIGTSTP (typically generated by Ctrl-Z) and restoring the application's setting on SIGCONT. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
