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。

sys.stdin.read(1)

基本上会从STDIN读取1个字节。

如果你必须使用不等待\n的方法，你可以按照之前的回答使用这段代码:

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()

(摘自http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/)

另一个回答中的一个评论提到了cbreak模式，这对Unix实现很重要，因为您通常不希望^C (KeyboardError)被getchar使用(当您将终端设置为原始模式时，它会被使用，就像大多数其他回答所做的那样)。

另一个重要的细节是，如果您希望读取一个字符而不是一个字节，您应该从输入流中读取4个字节，因为这是UTF-8 (Python 3+)中单个字符所包含的最大字节数。对于键盘箭头等多字节字符，只读取一个字节将产生意想不到的结果。

下面是我修改后的Unix实现:

import contextlib
import os
import sys
import termios
import tty


_MAX_CHARACTER_BYTE_LENGTH = 4


@contextlib.contextmanager
def _tty_reset(file_descriptor):
    """
    A context manager that saves the tty flags of a file descriptor upon
    entering and restores them upon exiting.
    """
    old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(file_descriptor)
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        termios.tcsetattr(file_descriptor, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)


def get_character(file=sys.stdin):
    """
    Read a single character from the given input stream (defaults to sys.stdin).
    """
    file_descriptor = file.fileno()
    with _tty_reset(file_descriptor):
        tty.setcbreak(file_descriptor)
        return os.read(file_descriptor, _MAX_CHARACTER_BYTE_LENGTH)

TL;DR:这是你的无依赖跨平台最大密度复制面糊

我知道我一直在找☝️。你从谷歌来到这里，想要一些不需要pip安装这个和那个就能工作的东西?我相当肯定这个解决方案将继续工作很长一段时间。

示例使用

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # just normal key like a
'a'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # a but its shift or capslock
'A'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # just bare enter
'\r'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # literal ESC key
'\x1b'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # one of the arrow keys on linux
'\x1b[A'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # one of the arrow keys on windows
'àK'

>>> getch_but_it_actually_works() # some really obscure key-combo. still works.
'\x1b[19;6~'

跨平台解决方案，无外部依赖

滚动到更详细的答案在结束理智的缩进和评论。这是最大密度预览，便于复制粘贴。只需调用getch_but_it_actually_works()

import os
def _read_one_wide_char_win(): return msvcrt.getwch()

    wchar = sys.stdin.read(1)
    termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin.fileno(), termios.TCSANOW, old_settings); return wchar

    buffer_dump = ""
    while char := sys.stdin.read(1): buffer_dump += char
    os.set_blocking(sys.stdin.fileno(), True); termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin.fileno(), termios.TCSANOW, old_settings)
    if buffer_dump: return buffer_dump
    else: return ""
if os.name == "nt":

def getch_but_it_actually_works():
    wchar = read_one_wdchar()
    if char_can_escape(wchar): dump = dump_key_buffer(); return wchar + dump
    else: return wchar

答案很长，代码带有注释和合理的缩进

这里是所有评论的长答案。仍然没有依赖关系。

这很可能在linux和windows上工作很长一段时间。没有外部依赖，只有内置。

它还将处理边缘情况，如敲击方向键或一些模糊的东西，如<ctrl + shift + f12>，这将在linux和windows上产生很长的ANSI转义序列。它将捕获诸如<ctrl+x>或<ctrl+z>或tab或F1-12作为单个输入

这些年来，我已经回到这个帖子上几十次了，所以现在是时候把两分钱和利息还给我了。下面是完整的注释代码。

这个例子有点长，但您可以跳过阅读大部分内容。相关的位在最后，你可以复制粘贴整个东西。
