Thanks,
I tryed your example:

import msvcrt
while 1:
print '.'
if msvcrt.kbhit() and msvcrt.getch() == chr(27):
 break

but it doesn't work. It is running (Win2000), there is no messages about
errors but there is no effect when pressing ESC key. What I am doing wrong?

I use IDLE 1.0.3, Python 2.3.4
The same problem is when running in a win console.
