Is the only way to read single characters from the keyboard to use
curses.cbreak() or curses.raw()? If so how do I then read characters,
it's not at all obvious from the curses documentation as that seems to
think I'm using a GUI in some shape or form.
All I actually want to do is get 'Y' or 'N'

You should try the input function. I use it all the time. It does require
the user to hit enter but that is pretty typical of that kind of interface.
So I would write a loop like
while True:
answer = input("Please answer the question (y/n):")
if answer == 'y':
break

My solution in the end was copied from one I found that was much
simpler and straightforward than most. I meant to post this earlier
but it got lost somewhere:-
import sys, termios, tty

# Read a single character from teminal, specifically for 'Y/N'
#
fdInput = sys.std
I choose Python and still stick with it as default as I choose
Python because of its design beauty. Typing does not mean
mandatory braces. There can be an indentation-based language
that is strongly typed.
Python is beautiful in itself. Beautiful to look at. Source code should
be easy for the aver

And cope with escape sequences too - if you press an a

How do I subtract two time/dates and calculate the hours and minutes
between?
