Stopping a loop with user input. in curses

[Alex]

Hello all,

I've written a small clock program in curses that I would
like to have end when someone presses 'q'. I've included the
code below. I'm *very* new to python so I apologize in advance if
this seems like a horribly obvious problem. I've spent all day
trying various structures but none of them have worked out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex


#! /usr/bin/python

# Import curses module

import curses, time
stdscr = curses.initscr()

def theClock():
	
    # Define global colour scheme
    curses.init_pair(1, curses.COLOR_WHITE, curses.COLOR_BLUE)
	
    # Get the screen size
    max_y, max_x = stdscr.getmaxyx()
	
    # Calculate the clock position relative to the screen size
    clock_x = max_x - 28 
	
    # Draw the clock
    clockWindow = curses.newwin(3, 26, 1, clock_x)
    clockWindow.bkgd(' ', curses.color_pair(1))
    clockWindow.box()
    clockWindow.refresh()

    while 1:
        t = time.asctime()
        clockWindow.addstr(1, 1, t)
        clockWindow.refresh()
        time.sleep(1)


def main(stdscr):

    # Bring up the clock function

    theClock()

    # If 'q' is pressed, exit
    while 2:
    c = stdscr.getch()
    if c == ord('q'):
            curses.beep()
            break
