I don't know. How would you implement "less" in Python? How would you
implement "nethack" in Python?

Well, Python does offer it all. You do it like you would in C. You set
the terminal mode.

When in Linux, do as the Linux system programmers do. I'm glad Python
hasn't tried to hide Linux under shoddy abstractions -- or at least I'm
not forced to use them.
