4 years ago The pty and termios modules do not support Windows. Current Python pty documentation suggest Windows might be supported:
The Linux code is supposed to work on other platforms, but hasn’t been tested yet.
but I have confirmed that it is not while adding pty usage to gdbgui.
The new Windows Psuedo Console, ConPTY, available in Windows 10, now makes this possible.
Proof of existence of a common pty interface for all platforms exists for node with the node-pty npm package, which uses ConPTY.
