I have problem with installing getch with pip

Question

C:\Users\matya>pip install getch
Collecting getch
  Using cached getch-1.0.tar.gz (1.3 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Building wheels for collected packages: getch
  Building wheel for getch (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [3 lines of output]
      getchmodule.c
      getchmodule.c(2): fatal error C1083: Nejde otevýˇt soubor zahrnout: termios.h: No such file or directory

      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Answer 1

You're evidently on Windows, so you don't need to install the PyPI getch package.

You import the function from the msvcrt module:

from msvcrt import getch
