getch throws error on windows

[mmckerns]

it appears that sys.stdin.read(1), and hence "getch", fails when running from a python shell on windows

I am able to run the example 10 and it solves the cheb. polynomial. but at the end the figure does not appear and I get the below message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Documents and Settings\Ali Lashgari\My

Documents\python\example10.py", line 81, in <module>

getch()

File "build\bdist.win32\egg\mystic\tools.py", line 108, in getch

a = sys.stdin.read(1)

AttributeError?: read

also getch is often/always/? ignored on a macintosh when used to pause execution to display a plot
