>>> msvcrt.getch() '\xff'

This means that when I try running the script described at the above website, a space does squat, as demonstrated below: >>>

Thats because getch reads whats in the input immediately, it doesn't wait until you type something.

So you have to put it inside a loop:

while True: inp = msvcrt.getch() if inp: break
