Ok, I'm pretty new to python, so this might be a stupid question. I'm trying to write a simple text-based pong clone, and I can't figure out how to read key presses to move the paddles. I just need something that does the same thing as getch() and kbhit(). I can't use those because their windows only, and I'm running Linux.
Someone suggested using curses, but that does crazy things with my output, and leaves the terminal unusable after the program closes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
