(Unix only, Optional) The termios module provides an interface to the Unix
terminal control facilities. It can be used to control most aspects of
the terminal communication ports.
In Example 12-8, this module is used to temporarily disable
keyboard echo (which is controlled by the ECHO flag
in the third flag field).
Example 12-8. Using the termios Module
File: termios-example-1.py
import termios, TERMIOS
import sys
fileno = sys.stdin.fileno()
attr = termios.tcgetattr(fileno)
orig = attr[:]
print "attr =>", attr[:4] # flags
# disable echo flag
attr[3] = attr[3] & ~TERMIOS.ECHO
try:
termios.tcsetattr(fileno, TERMIOS.TCSADRAIN, attr)
message = raw_input("enter secret message: ")
print
finally:
# restore terminal settings
termios.tcsetattr(fileno, TERMIOS.TCSADRAIN, orig)
print "secret =>", repr(message)
attr => [1280, 5, 189, 35387]
enter secret message:
