How to check if key is pressed while other code is running

In the code below, the only way to get out of the loop is by holding q and pressing enter on the last input. But is there a way to check if a key is pressed while any other code is running?

import keyboard, time
while True:
   if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
      break
   str1 = input('Type your first name: ')
   time.sleep(5)
   str2 = input('Type your last name: ')

I think you want something like these :

import keyboard, time
from threading import Thread

def execute_questions():
    while True:
        str1 = input('Type your first name: ')
        str2 = input('Type your last name: ')



t =Thread(target=execute_questions)
t.daemon = True 
t.start()

while True:
    if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
        #stops the thread
        print('\nprogram finish')
        break
