It seems to me, that this module is not available here.

Python 2.1.2 (#1, Feb 25 2002, 18:04:21)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help (tty)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'help' is not defined
>>> from scipy import *
>>> help(tty)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'tty' is not defined
