I am currently working on a simple program that involves waiting for a specific amount of time before checking if a key has been pressed. Depending on the result, the program will execute different tasks later in the code. Here is the code snippet I have written:
import msvcrt
import time
import sys
time.sleep(1)
if msvcrt.kbhit():
sys.stdout.write('y')
else:
sys.stdout.write('n')
When I run the program and press any key at the beginning (triggering kbhit to be true), it always ends up executing the second statement and printing 'n'. Can anyone provide some guidance on what may be incorrect in my code?

Thank you
