It isn't. It's trying to import (lowercase) termios.

Indeed I do not. Ah. But it *used* to import (uppercase) TERMIOS. That
makes this a Windows thing: when it tries to import termios, it still
*finds* TERMIOS.py, and on Windows that raises a NameError (instead of the
ImportError you'd hope to get, if you *had* to get any error at all out of
mismatching case). So this should go away, and get replaced by an
ImportError, when I check in the "case-sensitive import" patch for Windows.
Thanks for the nudge!
