Raw_Input Without Pressing Enter

raw_input without pressing enter

Under Windows, you need the msvcrt module, specifically, it seems from the way you describe your problem, the function msvcrt.getch:

Read a keypress and return the
resulting character. Nothing is echoed
to the console. This call will block
if a keypress is not already
available, but will not wait for Enter
to be pressed.

(etc -- see the docs I just pointed to). For Unix, see e.g. this recipe for a simple way to build a similar getch function (see also several alternatives &c in the comment thread of that recipe).

how to get user input without pressing enter in python?

Here is a simple example using keyboard:

import keyboard

while True:
    event = keyboard.read_event()
    if event.event_type == keyboard.KEY_DOWN:
        key = event.name
        print(f'Pressed: {key}')
        if key == 'q':
            break

How to accept input without the need to press enter Python 3

If you are using windows, msvcrt is the answer:

import msvcrt

print ("Please enter a value.")
char = msvcrt.getch()
print char

If you are not using windows, take a look at the following snippet at this source:

getch = _Getch()
print ("Please enter something: ")
x = getch()
print x

How to enter a input without pressing enter

In Windows you can use msvcrt. On other systems its a bit more difficult, take a look at this recipe: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/

You can use it that way:

getch = _Getch()

print 'Please enter your guess: '
x = getch()

if (int(x) == 1):
    print 'correct'
else:
    print 'wrong'

User input in Python without use of enter key?

It varies by operating system. In answer to this stackoverflow question, you can see a recipe to read one character from STDIN on either unix or windows.

I haven't used it, but there is also the getch python pypi package you could try.

Input prompt with timeout to evaluate the input without the Enter key being pressed in python 3 (Windows)

The input() function requires you to press enter to confirm the input, so that wouldn't work for you.
If you're using Windows, you could try the msvcrt module, as highlighted in
this question's answers.

The general idea would be to loop for five seconds calling the getch() function repeatedly.

If not on Windows, there were some other answers with cross-platform solutions, such as the curses package.
