I would use wxPython, but since you seem against that, here's what I
found using Google-fu:
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tu...
It sounds very similar to what you are doing and it shows how to do it
in both Windows and Linux.
Threads are annoying buggers. You'll probably want to have one thread
catching key-presses and storing them in a file or "file-like" object
and have your other thread read from it periodically. I'm not sure
that the link above mentions that.
Hope that helps!
