最简单的跨平台解决方案是sshkeyboard。使用pip安装sshkeyboard，

然后编写如下脚本:

from sshkeyboard import listen_keyboard

def press(key):
    print(f"'{key}' pressed")

def release(key):
    print(f"'{key}' released")

listen_keyboard(
    on_press=press,
    on_release=release,
)

它会打印:

'a' pressed
'a' released

当按下A键。默认按ESC键结束监听。

它需要比curses, tkinter和getch更少的编码。

下面是ActiveState Recipes网站的链接，告诉你如何在Windows、Linux和OSX中读取单个字符:

getch()-类似于在Windows和Unix上从stdin读取的非缓冲字符

class _Getch:
    """Gets a single character from standard input.  Does not echo to the
screen."""
    def __init__(self):
        try:
            self.impl = _GetchWindows()
        except ImportError:
            self.impl = _GetchUnix()

    def __call__(self): return self.impl()


class _GetchUnix:
    def __init__(self):
        import tty, sys

    def __call__(self):
        import sys, tty, termios
        fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
        old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
        try:
            tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
        return ch


class _GetchWindows:
    def __init__(self):
        import msvcrt

    def __call__(self):
        import msvcrt
        return msvcrt.getch()


getch = _Getch()

ActiveState的配方似乎包含一个小错误，“posix”系统，防止Ctrl-C中断(我使用Mac)。如果我把下面的代码放在我的脚本:

while(True):
    print(getch())

我将永远无法用Ctrl-C终止脚本，我必须杀死我的终端才能退出。

我认为下面这句话是原因，而且它也太残酷了:

tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())

除此之外，tty包实际上并不需要，termios就足以处理它了。

下面是改进的代码，为我工作(Ctrl-C将中断)，与额外的getche函数，当你输入的字符回显:

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    import msvcrt
    getch = msvcrt.getch
    getche = msvcrt.getche
else:
    import sys
    import termios
    def __gen_ch_getter(echo):
        def __fun():
            fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
            oldattr = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
            newattr = oldattr[:]
            try:
                if echo:
                    # disable ctrl character printing, otherwise, backspace will be printed as "^?"
                    lflag = ~(termios.ICANON | termios.ECHOCTL)
                else:
                    lflag = ~(termios.ICANON | termios.ECHO)
                newattr[3] &= lflag
                termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, newattr)
                ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
                if echo and ord(ch) == 127: # backspace
                    # emulate backspace erasing
                    # https://stackoverflow.com/a/47962872/404271
                    sys.stdout.write('\b \b')
            finally:
                termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, oldattr)
            return ch
        return __fun
    getch = __gen_ch_getter(False)
    getche = __gen_ch_getter(True)

用pygame试试这个:

import pygame
pygame.init()             // eliminate error, pygame.error: video system not initialized
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

if keys[pygame.K_SPACE]:
    d = "space key"

print "You pressed the", d, "."

我相信这是一个最优雅的解决方案。

import os

if os.name == 'nt':
    import msvcrt
    def getch():
        return msvcrt.getch().decode()
else:
    import sys, tty, termios
    fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
    old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
    def getch():
        try:
            tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
        return ch

然后在代码中使用它:

if getch() == chr(ESC_ASCII_VALUE):
    print("ESC!")

这段代码，基于这里，将正确地引发KeyboardInterrupt和EOFError如果按下Ctrl+C或Ctrl+D。

应该在Windows和Linux上工作。OS X版本可从原始源代码获得。
