这是NON-BLOCKING，读取一个键并将其存储在keypress.key中。

import Tkinter as tk


class Keypress:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = tk.Tk()
        self.root.geometry('300x200')
        self.root.bind('<KeyPress>', self.onKeyPress)

    def onKeyPress(self, event):
        self.key = event.char

    def __eq__(self, other):
        return self.key == other

    def __str__(self):
        return self.key

在你的程序中

keypress = Keypress()

while something:
   do something
   if keypress == 'c':
        break
   elif keypress == 'i': 
       print('info')
   else:
       print("i dont understand %s" % keypress)

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)

这里的答案是有信息的，但是我也想要一种方法，以线程安全、跨平台的方式异步地获得按键，并在不同的事件中触发按键。PyGame对我来说也太臃肿了。所以我做了下面的代码(Python 2.7，但我怀疑它很容易移植)，我想在这里分享一下，以防对其他人有用。我将它存储在一个名为keyPress.py的文件中。

其思想是，您可以简单地调用keyPress.getKey()，它将从键盘读取一个键，然后返回它。

如果你想要更多的东西，我做了一个KeyCapture对象。你可以通过keys = keyPress.KeyCapture()来创建一个。

那么你可以做三件事:

addEvent(functionName)接受任何接受一个形参的函数。然后每次按下一个键时，这个函数将以该键的字符串作为输入调用。这些是在一个单独的线程中运行的，所以你可以阻止所有你想要的，它不会打乱keycapture的功能，也不会延迟其他事件。

get() returns a key in the same blocking way as before. It is now needed here because the keys are being captured via the KeyCapture object now, so keyPress.getKey() would conflict with that behavior and both of them would miss some keys since only one key can be captured at a time. Also, say the user presses 'a', then 'b', you call get(), the user presses 'c'. That get() call will immediately return 'a', then if you call it again it will return 'b', then 'c'. If you call it again it will block until another key is pressed. This ensures that you don't miss any keys, in a blocking way if desired. So in this way it's a little different than keyPress.getKey() from before

如果想要返回getKey()的行为，get(lossy=True)与get()类似，只是它只返回调用get()后按下的键。所以在上面的例子中，get()会阻塞，直到用户按下“c”，然后如果你再次调用它，它会阻塞，直到按下另一个键。

getAsync()略有不同。它的设计是为了进行大量的处理，然后偶尔返回并检查哪些键被按下。因此，getAsync()返回自上次调用getAsync()以来按下的所有键的列表，按从最早按下的键到最近按下的键的顺序排列。它也不会阻塞，这意味着如果自上次调用getAsync()以来没有按下任何键，则返回空的[]。

要真正开始捕捉键，需要使用上面创建的键对象调用keys. startcapture()。startCapture是非阻塞的，它只是启动一个只记录按键的线程，并启动另一个线程来处理这些按键。有两个线程来确保记录按键的线程不会漏掉任何按键。

如果你想停止捕获键，你可以调用keys. stopcapture()，它就会停止捕获键。但是，由于捕获键是一个阻塞操作，捕获键的线程在调用stopCapture()之后可能会捕获更多的键。

为了防止这种情况，你可以在函数的startCapture(functionName, args)中传入一个可选参数，该函数只是做一些类似检查键是否等于'c'然后退出的事情。重要的是，这个函数之前做的很少，例如，这里的sleep会导致我们错过键。

但是，如果在这个函数中调用了stopCapture()，则按键捕获将立即停止，不再尝试捕获任何按键，并且所有get()调用将立即返回，如果尚未按下任何按键则返回None。

此外，由于get()和getAsync()存储所有先前按下的键(直到检索到它们)，您可以调用clearGetList()和clearAsyncList()来忘记先前按下的键。

注意get()， getAsync()和事件是独立的，所以如果按下一个键:

对正在等待的get()的调用，如果打开了lossy，就会返回 的关键。其他正在等待的呼叫(如果有)将继续等待。 该键将存储在get键队列中，因此带有lossy off的get()将返回get()尚未返回的按下的最古老的键。 所有事件都将以该键作为输入触发 该键将存储在getAsync()键的列表中，该列表将在下一次调用getAsync()时返回并设置为空列表

如果所有这些都太多了，这里有一个示例用例:

import keyPress
import time
import threading

def KeyPressed(k, printLock):
    printLock.acquire()
    print "Event: " + k
    printLock.release()
    time.sleep(4)
    printLock.acquire()
    print "Event after delay: " + k
    printLock.release()

def GetKeyBlocking(keys, printLock):    
    while keys.capturing():
        keyReceived = keys.get()
        time.sleep(1)
        printLock.acquire()
        if not keyReceived is None:
            print "Block " + keyReceived
        else:
            print "Block None"

从我做的简单测试来看，它对我来说工作得很好，但如果我遗漏了什么，我也会很高兴地接受其他人的反馈。

我也把这个贴在这里了。

两个答案中逐字引用的ActiveState配方是过度设计的。它可以归结为:

def _find_getch():
    try:
        import termios
    except ImportError:
        # Non-POSIX. Return msvcrt's (Windows') getch.
        import msvcrt
        return msvcrt.getch

    # POSIX system. Create and return a getch that manipulates the tty.
    import sys, tty
    def _getch():
        fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
        old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
        try:
            tty.setraw(fd)
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
        return ch

    return _getch

getch = _find_getch()

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。

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): 
        char = self.impl()
        if char == '\x03':
            raise KeyboardInterrupt
        elif char == '\x04':
            raise EOFError
        return char

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

    def __call__(self):
        import sys
        import tty
        import 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()

这可能是上下文管理器的一个用例。不考虑Windows操作系统，以下是我的建议:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# file: 'readchar.py'
"""
Implementation of a way to get a single character of input
without waiting for the user to hit <Enter>.

class ReadChar():
    def __enter__(self):
        self.fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
        self.old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(self.fd)
        tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())
        return sys.stdin.read(1)
    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        termios.tcsetattr(self.fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, self.old_settings)

def test():
    while True:
        with ReadChar() as rc:
            char = rc
        if ord(char) <= 32:
            print("You entered character with ordinal {}."\
                        .format(ord(char)))
        else:
            print("You entered character '{}'."\
                        .format(char))
        if char in "^C^D":
            sys.exit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test()
