[Python Impl.] Single key input

[Walkman100]

In porting NumeralConverter to python, I haven't found a way to read a single character from STDIN - DotNet has:

pressedKey = Console.ReadKey().Key.ToString

Whereas python27 only has

line_of_input = raw_input("Prompt: ")

which waits for a \n before continuing.

Looking at: https://stackoverflow.com/q/510357/2999220

I have tested:

line_of_input = sys.stdin.read(1)

but this does the same as raw_input(), except it only returns the first character.
