Unfortunately the msvcrt docs have not been 2to3ified: """ msvcrt.getch() Read a keypress and return the resulting character. Nothing is echoed to the console. This call will block if a keypress is not already available, but will not wait for Enter to be pressed. If the pressed key was a special function key, this will return '\000' or '\xe0'; the next call will return the keycode. The Control-C keypress cannot be read with this function. msvcrt.getwch() Wide char variant of getch(), returning a Unicode value. """ In Python 3.0, getch() returns a length-1 bytes object. getwch() returns a length-1 str object. Suggestions: (1) Do more of the 3.0 tutorial so that you understand the bytes/str thing. (2) Use getwch instead of getch (3) Consider whether the builtins print() and input() cover your needs for console IO. HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
