Try using raw_input() instead of the sys.stdin.readline(). raw_input() 
is the preferred way of getting console input.

Like this:
    print "enter q to quit, or smthing else to continue"
    while not raw_input() == 'q':
       smthing(else)

Or you can do it this way:
    while not raw_input("enter q to quit, or smthing else to continue: ")
       smthing(else)
