#11615 — Determine what msvcrt.getch() is getting?

Whatever msvcrt.getch() is returning here in Windows, it's not within 
the 1-255 number range. How can I determine what it is returning?

I would like to see whatever it is getting.

Thanks.

Just print it.  Like this:

import msvcrt
ch = msvcrt.getch()
print (ch)

for a bit more information, do this instead:
import msvcrt
ch = msvcrt.getch()
print(type(ch), repr(ch), ord(ch))
