title: How can I get the Python module termios to work in Cygwin?
body: <p>I want to run <a href="http://excess.org/urwid/" rel="nofollow">Urwid</a> in Windows so I downloaded and installed Cygwin (default packages only). I tried the Hello World example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urwid
  
  txt = urwid.Text(u"Hello World")
  fill = urwid.Filler(txt, 'top')
  loop = urwid.MainLoop(fill)
  loop.run()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it complains about <code>termios</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python test.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "test.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
      import urwid
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\__init__.py", line 40, in &lt;module&gt;
      from urwid.graphics import (BigText, LineBox, BarGraphMeta, BarGraphError,
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\graphics.py", line 30, in &lt;module&gt;
      from urwid.display_common import AttrSpec
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\display_common.py", line 23, in &lt;module&gt;
      import termios
  ImportError: No module named termios
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I went back to the installer and installed all packages matching <code>term</code> as search term, but I still get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Please, all you Cygwin deities out there, could you assist a feeble noob in sorting this annoying issue out?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I am running Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7 if that matters.</p>
