[Idle-dev] non-blocking getch() or kbhit() in IDLE

[Douglas S. Blank]

Is there a way in IDLE to check to see if a key has been pressed without 
blocking? Either cross-platform or otherwise? I'd like to have students 
write code like:

while not keyPress():
     robot.forward(1)
     wait(.1)

I was exploring the idlelib.rpc.RPCProxy object at sys.stdin, but didn't 
see anything obvious.

Any ideas appreciated,
