Is this possible? Every answer I have looked at isn’t what I want. What I do though is something like in omega-rpg (which is an awesome little text-based debian rpg), but in Python instead of C. I have poked around and found some things, but nothing that’s relevant to what I’m doing. Is it just easier to use raw_input() / input, or would it be more efficient to use some kind of API for doing so?

TO CLEAR UP:

I need a system of realtime keyboard input in Python, but I don’t know whether it’s easier to use an API or just raw_input() / input(). If it IS better to use an API, which is the best one for a beginner-level programmer to use?

EXTRA:

Any solution will be used in a TEXT-BASED GAME! Keep that in mind when answering, please.

    I think using raw_input() in a while loop is an acceptable solution.

    You could also look into something like pygame which would handle the main game loop for you and also offers input handling.
