OK, here's a short script, which runs fine on Windows. What do I add
to have it run on unix as well?
#!/usr/bin/env python
#coding=utf-8
try:
# windows or dos
import msvcrt
while True:
if msvcrt.kbhit():
key = msvcrt.getch()
if key == "h":
print "Hello, World!"
break
print "Bye, World!"
except ImportError:
# assume unix
import tty, termios
