I need something like "Press any key to continue" code for my program.
Currently I use : raw_input("Pres s Enter to continue ") but it's lame.

Like somebody already said: use the WConio module.
Somebody already posted a link.
I suggest you go look at it.

Did you try this:
import msvcrt
msvcrt.getch()

read the documentation on readline.
Hmm! it says "Availabili ty: Unix". Any particular reason? readline
should be fine on OSX and Win32

How about modifying it to
raw_input("Pres s ENTER to continue ")

Yes, that's what I need. Thank you.
BTW, sometimes program continues
without me pressing any button, why ?

Probably because you had already hit a key earlier, and
it was still in the keyboard queue.
You can flush it first:
print prompt
while msvcrt.kbhit():
msvcrt.getch()
msvcrt.getch()
Pack that up in a subroutine and call it when
you need to pause and continue only when the user
has seen your prompt. Any previous keystrokes
will be discarded by the loop, then it will wait
for a new one to be hit.

You want him to just capitalize ENTER in the current message?

I am using python 2.3 through the PythonWin program on windows. I
would like to create a console-based interactive session. The program
raw_input is almost exactly what I'd like, except that whenever I call
raw_input(), it pops up a window on my screen. I'd much rather have
it read from the interactive window.
Is there something out there, as easy as raw_input(), that I can use?
Thanks for any clues!

Hi
when using an interactive Python script, I'd like the prompt given by
raw_input to go to stderr since stdout is redirected to a file.
How can I change this (and suggest making this the default behaviour)
Many thanks for a hint,

I'm working on a MUD server and I have a thread that gets keyboard input
so that you can enter commands from the command line while it's in its

the 'shutdown' command, everything shuts down, but the input thread is
still sitting waiting for enter to be pressed for raw_input. After
enter is pressed, it exits back to the command prompt as it should.

Hi, folks --
I'm a Python pup.
As you can see from the session copied at the end of this post, I have the latest version of Python, and I've been using the Editor-Shell of the latest version of Boa Constructor while going through some Python tutorials.
Everything was working as expected until I started using the raw_input built-in function.
There seems to be some unreliable behavior in Boa Constructor's Editor - Shell. If you look...

It's often useful for debugging to print something to stderr, and to
route the error output to a file using '2>filename' on the command
line.
However, when I try that with a python script, all prompt output from
raw_input goes to stderr. Consider the following test program:

I ran into a very strange behaviour of raw_input().
I hope somebody can tell me how to fix this.
(Or is this a problem in the python source?)
I will explain the problem by using 3 examples. (Sorry, long email)
The first two examples are behaving normal, the thirth is
strange.......
