You shouldn't need a search engine to answer a question about your code.
If you do, it suggests that perhaps one or more of the terms are unfamiliar

What does that mean? You seem very resistant to answering anyone's

does it have a GUI? If it has a GUI, what

That exact code works perfectly for me. The function returns as soon as I
press the escape key. You are runn
def wait_for_keystroke():
char=0
while not (char==chr(27) or char==chr(110)):
char=msvcrt.getch()
if char==0:

That freezes the process.
That means char=msvcrt.getch() is getting something?
Could it have something to do with the formatting of the character?

Works perfectly for me. You don't need the while loop,
My program does not need a prompt, it just needs to wait for any
key to be pressed before it continues. This is in Windows.

while not char:

That doesn't delay anything here.
