Summary: on win32 getpass runs into unix_getpass

Initial Comment:
In python 2.2.2 the getpass module from line 105:

try:
    import termios
except ImportError:
    bla-bla

else:
    getpass = unix_getpass

but import termios doesn't fires ImportError, so
getpass will be unix_gatpass, and later it fails
on AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'tcgetattr'

Why termios.py exist in the win32 packages ?

Checked in as Lib/getpass.py 1.15.  Will backport later.

Bajusz:  we ship the same libraries on all platforms.  This is 
important when, e.g., the Python library at a site is shared 
via a network drive.  That won't change.

Neal:  Ya, a hasattr check wouldn't hurt at all, and may 
help.  Feel encouraged to do it!  Assigning to you in the 
hopes that you will.

Tim would it be safer (ie, more fullproof, in case a user
has a termios) to also check hasttr(termios, 'tcgetattr')
and/or tcsetattr even if the import succeeds?

Or should this bug report be closed?

McMillan is evil. When it builds my app (GNUe reports),
it compiles TERMIOS.py into termios.pyc.

Thank anyway.

Whose distribution of Python are you using?  termios 
doesn't exist in the PLabs Windows distro:

C:\Python22>python
Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import termios
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named termios
>>>

Try running Python with -v to see where termios is coming 
from on your installation.  Perhaps you have a search path 
set strangely, or picked up a termios module from some 
other software.
