Keyboard polling
<p>I'm looking for a nice solution for non-blocking poll of the keyboard for Unix systems. If any keystroke happens, I want to capture it.</p>

<p>Some solution are presented in <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/292095/polling-the-keyboard-in-python">Polling the keyboard in python</a>, but are there any other alternatives that utilize only the python standard library? I know curses is one alternative, but there are some issues with the Python distro I'm using that prevents me from using it.</p>

<p>It would be great if there's something as simple as <code>keyboard.read()</code> as in the question I linked.</p>
