This page is your friend:

http://openbookproject.net/py4fun/lode/lode.html#auto2

In fact the entire site is quite fun...

   http://openbookproject.net/py4fun/

... but with a name like that it would be.

Specifically this file shows you what you need to do:
http://openbookproject.net//py4fun/lode/ttyLinux.py

Specifically you have to change the console mode to spit out characters at
a time, you can then play with them and when your program exits change it
back again.

That looks extremely useful, thank you! Unfortunately it's Unix-like only. (At least that's what the Python docs say about termios.)
Is there a Windows alternative that you know of? I could just check what the OS is and use the specific routines for the platform.

Thanks!
Fiona
