Keys To The Kingdom

[Tim Daneliuk]

I have a two part question about accepting keyboard input in python:

Is there a standard way to read one keystroke at a time rather than
doing line input via raw_input()?

For some reason, I cannot seem to catch Ctrl-C when it is typed in response
to a raw_input() call.  This code still blows out of the python interpreter
when the user keys in Ctrl-C:

try:
	x=raw_input()
except KeyBoardInterrupt:
	# Handle the Ctrl-C and regroup
        ...
