Python Twisted Stdio Example On Windows Doesn't Work

I started playing with python/twisted but when I test the stdin example on Windows from cmd.exe, the example doesn't work. I'm using python 2.7 and twisted 12.1.0 (binary msi pack

Solution 1:

There is already an open Twisted ticket to make twisted.internet.stdio work on the console in Windows. There's even a fair amount of code associated with this ticket, and a huge amount of diagnosis.

In short, the Windows command-line is a huge mess. It's not even that it's a different interface than the POSIX standard command line; it's a completely different kind of thing. On Linux or OS X, the console is like a tiny, fake teletype that you send bytes and control codes to. On Windows, the console is more like a tiny, fake computer running DOS that you write to the video memory of.

Nevertheless, feel free to help out on that ticket! It could use some more interest!
