Let's find out:

>>> from msvcrt import getch
>>> while True:
...     key = getch()
...     if key: print repr(key)+',',
...
'p', 'r', 'e', 's', 's', 'i', 'n', 'g', ' ', 'e', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r',
':', ' ', '\r',

Gee, I pressed enter, and it returned '\r'. I wonder...

>>> import msvcrt
>>> while True:
...     if msvcrt.kbhit():
...         key = msvcrt.getch()
...         if key == '\r':
...             print "success!"
...
success!
