Python read from buffer

Question

i want a getch/cin like function in python that wont interrupt the program from running (wanna make flappyBird) return pressed key ascii code if anything pressed or returns nothing or a default value if no key pressed

i am using getch but it waits till a key press

while (1):
    speed = speed - gravity
    pressed_key = getch.getch()
    if ( pressed_key == ' ' ):
        speed = speed + force
        pressed_key = 'x'
    elif ( pressed_key == 'q' ):
        sys.exit()
    print (speed)
    sleep(sleep_time)

this will be later a frame of the game xD
