Get key pressed event

Question

I'm developing translation software for Linux using Python. I'm looking for a way to get the key pressed event. When an english letter key is pressed, I wan the pressed key to be assigned to a variable.

I've tried googling and reading various articles, but haven't had any luck so far.

Using Pygame, you care about the Pygame.KEYDOWN keyboard event. You can see how to use it in the pygame example aliens.py.
