If you're worried about the screen space and/or keystrokes, you can do this:

if direction.upper() in tuple('NSEW'): ...

instead of

if direction.upper() in ('N', 'S', 'E', 'W'): ...


You can also use list, set or frozenset instead of tuple., but I prefer 
tuple because it signals the intention that the result should be read-only.
