In the pyNMS package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pynms/) there is a 
module called "termtools". This module can be used in place of the "tty" 
module. It has many improvements, including a "sane" function, a "raw" 
function, and an "stty" function. This module also replaces the 
"getpass" module, as it has the same functions found there. The PagedIO 
object is used by the CLI framework in pyNMS.
