Is there a simple way to exit a while loop on keystroke?

[gsxg]

I am new to python, and have written a simple program to read a port
via telnet.  I would like it to run until any key is pressed.  Of
course I wouldn't mind requiring a specific keystroke in the future,
but I would think this is simpler for now.

I have used kbhit() and getch() many times in C, but I can't find
anything similar in  Python.  I am using Linux also, so the msvcrt
code isn't an option.  I have tried sys.stdin.read(), but that hangs
UNTIL a key is pressed.

Thanks

Thanks,
The curses library doesn't look to helpful to me.  However using CTRL-
C is fine and is working nicely.

BTW, it should be "time.sleep(1)" in the example above, instead of
just
"sleep(1)"  (Just in case any other newbies like me read this)

Thanks again
