Hi,
The msvcrt module should do what you want. Here is a sample:
import msvcrt
chr = 0
while chr != 'q':

chr = msvcrt.getch()
Keep in mind that this
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

while line[0] != "q":
""" keep printing text ""
