Why do you have to use msvcrt?

I would use curses for user input, but:

,-<https://docs.python.org/2/howto/curses.html?highlight=user%20input>
,-<https://docs.python.org/3.2/howto/curses.html?highlight=user%20input>
| 
| No one has made a Windows port of the curses module. On a Windows 
| platform, try the Console module written by Fredrik Lundh. The Console 
| module provides cursor-addressable text output, plus full support for 
| mouse and keyboard input, and is available from 
| http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm.

So you should try that instead.
