Python key binding/capture

keyboard, python, python-2.7, python-3.x

Solution

From http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/ (although a bit simplified):

class _Getch:
    """Gets a single character from standard input.  Does not echo to the
screen."""
    def __init__(self):
        self.impl = _GetchUnix()
    def __call__(self): 
        return self.impl()


class _GetchUnix:
    def __init__(self):
        import tty, sys
    def __call__(self):
        import sys, tty, termios
        fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
        old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
        try:
            tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
        return ch

getch = _Getch()

Then you can do:

>>> getch()
'Y' # Here I typed Y

This is great as it doesn't need any 3rd party modules.

Problem

I'd like to know the simplest way to bind keys in python for example, the default python console window apears and waits, then in psuedo -> ``` if key "Y" is pressed: print ("Yes") if key "N" is pressed: print ("No") ``` I would like to achieve this without the use of any modules not included by python. just pure python Any and all help is greatly appreciated python 2.7 or 3.x Windows 7 Note: `raw_input()` requires the user to hit enter and is therefore not keybinding
