Three classes? What's wrong with something simple like the following (not tested on Unix)? import sys bims = sys.builtin_module_names if 'msvcrt' in bims: # Windows from msvcrt import getch elif 'termios' in bims: # Unix import tty, termios def getch(): 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 else: raise NotImplementedError, '... fill in Mac Carbon code here' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
