platform independent kbhit()

[Hans Georg Krauthaeuser]

Hey all,

this is probably a FAQ, but I didn't found the answer...

I use msvcrt.kbhit() to check for a user keyboard event on windows. But 
now, I would prefer to make the module independent from the platform 
used. I already know that I can use curses (on linux/unix) or Tkinter. 
Also, I  found this http://my.execpc.com/~geezer/software/kbhit.c C 
source that has a kbhit() and a getch() for linux/unix that I can SWIG 
to python.

Are there other (more simple, pure python, true platform independent) 
possibilities?

Best regards
Hans Georg Krauthaeuser
