How to accept input without the need to press enter Python 3
If you are using windows, msvcrt
is the answer:
import msvcrt
print ("Please enter a value.")
char = msvcrt.getch()
print char
If you are not using windows, take a look at the following snippet at this source:
getch = _Getch()
print ("Please enter something: ")
x = getch()
print x

i'm wondering how to accept input without the need to press enter. i searched online, and i get something regarding raw_input, but i think that became obsolete after the arrival of python 3.0. sometimes, i run a while loop on a whole program since i want to ask the user: continue? (y/n):
for instance consider the code:
import random d = input('Toss coin? (y/n): ') while d != 'n' and d!= 'N': c = random.randint(1,2) if c == 1: print('HEADS!') else: print('TAILS!') d = input('Toss coin? (y/n): ')
but i just want to add more flare to my program by just not having the user press enter everytime. just press y or n and the program loops or breaks accordingly.
ok so this is the new code:
import random import msvcrt d = input('Toss coin? (y/n): ') while d != 'n' and d!= 'N': c = random.randint(1,2) if c == 1: print('HEADS!') else: print('TAILS!') print('Toss coin? (y/n): ') d = msvcrt.getwch()
but msvcrt still doesn't work
