I'm trying to read one byte from stdin, without the newline.

If I try something like:
 >>> import os, sys
 >>> os.read(sys.stdin.fileno(),1)

I can input a character, but then I have to press enter, which leaves a newline character in the stdin buffer and requires two keypresses. Is there any way to read only one keypress in a simple manner (i.e. no curses)?

Depending on your OS, yes. Under *nix, you need to set the terminal to RAW-mode.

This recipe claims to be OS-agnostinc:
