python key input logic using msvcrt

Question

I need to do roughly the following:

while True:
    if *a key is pressed within 5 seconds of some prior event*:
        print(*the specific key that was pressed)
    elif *5 seconds pass with no key press*
        print("No key pressed")

I posted about my specific needs in another question (Read specific key with msvcrt.getch() OR move on after set time with no input), but I figure this format is much more approachable. The critical part here is that I must know what key was pressed. I have been trying to use msvcrt.getch() amd msvcrt.kbhit(), but it seems I need some sort of hybrid.

Can anyone figure this out?
