This one failed:
$ python3

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

The linux one worked, but...

ImportError: You must be root to use this library on linux.

More work to be done.

Let's see how far I can go. All I want is to capture the ENTER key in a website powered by python3. Thanks for the ideas.
