depends on where you got your input from and what do you exactly want

eg:
in a gui app you get input events from the gui toolkit (wx, gtk, sdl/
pygame...)
in a console app if you use curses lib then you can use getch() oslt

if you want a general solution to get input key events in a simple 
script then you cannot do that.

however Ctrl+C is a special key combination: running python in a unix 
terminal it raises KeyboardInterrupt exception, imho in a windows cmd 
promt it raises SystemExit

so you can emulate those by using:
raise KeyboardInterrupt
or
raise SystemExit

hope this helps
