It is in Tkinter.
See my tutor under the topic 'Event Driven Programming' for an example:

But if anyone knows how in 'raw' Python I'd be interested too.
Even more so if you can tell me how to do a QBASIC INKEY$ 
type function. I thought there might be a py-curses module 
but can't see one. (I usually use curses for this in C on Unix...)
