I am trying to make a simple IRC client in Python (as kind of a project while I learn the language).
I have a loop that I use to receive and parse what the IRC server sends me, but if I use raw_input to input stuff, it stops the loop dead in its tracks until I input something (obviously).
How can I input something without the loop stopping?
(I don't think I need to post the code, I just want to input something without the while 1: loop stopping.)
I'm on Windows.
I'd do what Mickey Chan said, but I'd use unicurses instead of normal curses.
Unicurses is universal (works on all or at least almost all operating systems)
Non-blocking console input?
