Here is the main code. I suspect such a thing will never be accepted into Twisted ;-):
As JP said, it might, with some tests and a patch in the tracker :).
The _win32stdio module can simply check if the stdin is attached to a terminal, so it (hopefully) can support both pipes and consoles.
That would be great.
I have managed to have an acceptable solution: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/attachment/ticket/2157/
Many things can be added, like an emulation of POSIX terminal, callbacks for resize events, support for focus in/out, colored output, history editing, ...
[1] How can be tested such a thing?
In addition to JP's suggestion, "mock" the actual API you will be testing with, by replacing it in the tests and asserting that the appropriate things are called on the console object that you are passing it.
Both approaches make sense in different situations, and good test coverage will generally do both.
For now in the test suit I simply put some characters in the console input buffer (with WriteConsoleInput), checking that they are read/handled correctly. I think that this should suffice. If this patch is accepted I will add a new module, twisted.internet.termios, for a portable termios support (to be used by conch script). My implementation supports raw mode and adding a callback when the window size changes. In future I will add history editing (as it works in cmd.exe) Regards Manlio Perillo
