Cool.

Is os.isatty somewhere in the docs, and I just can't find it, or is it
covered by this sentence

"This module searches for an operating system dependent built-in module
like mac or posix and exports the same functions and data as found there."
?

ie, know posix first, and access functions via the os module ?

or is there more to the doco [ >>> dir(os) gives me the names of a heap of
functions that arn't mentioned in the doco ]
