New submission from Cosimo Lupo:
the `_pyio` module at line 16 tries to check whether it is running on Windows
platform, by doing:
```
if os.name == 'win32':
from msvcrt import setmode as _setmode
else:
_setmode = None
```
However, the string returned by os.name is 'nt' and not 'win32' (the latter is
returned by `sys.platform`). Therefore, the value is always False and the
setmode function from mscvrt module is never imported.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Cosimo
