Is there a simple way to exit a while loop on keystroke?

Maybe the OP is on Windows. The docs seem to indicate that the curses
module isn't for Windows (see excerpt below):

While curses is most widely used in the Unix environment, versions are
available for DOS, OS/2, and possibly other systems as well. This
extension module is designed to match the API of ncurses, an open-
source curses library hosted on Linux and the BSD variants of Unix.

Oddly enough, I have it in my Windows distro, so it's rather
confusing. I've never used it, so I don't know if it plays nice on
Windows or not.
