Let's say I have a python program that is spitting out lines of text, such as:
while 1:
print "This is a line"
What's the easiest way to allow one to press a key on the keyboard to pause the loop, then to resume if pressed again---but if nothing is pressed it should just continue on automatically?
I'm hoping I don't have to go into something like curses to get this!

You could try this implementation for Linux / Mac (and possible other Unices) (code attribution: found on ActiveState Code Recipes).
On Windows you should check out msvcrt.
import sys, termios, atexit
from select import select
# save the terminal settings
fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
new_term = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
old_term = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
# new terminal setting unbuffered
new_term[3] = (new_term[3] & ~termios.ICANON & ~termios.ECHO)
# switch to normal terminal
def set_normal_term():
termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSAFLUSH, old_term)
# switch to unbuffered terminal
def set_curses_term():
termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSAFLUSH, new_term)
def putch(ch):
sys.stdout.write(ch)
def getch():
return sys.stdin.read(1)
def getche():
ch = getch()
putch(ch)
return ch
def kbhit():
dr,dw,de = select([sys.stdin], [], [], 0)
return dr <> []
Implementing what you're looking for would then become something like this:
atexit.register(set_normal_term)
set_curses_term()
while True:
print "myline"
if kbhit():
print "paused..."
ch = getch()
while True
if kbhit():
print "unpaused..."
ch = getch()
break
