New submission from Chad Smith <smithcha...@hotmail.com>:

The pty and termios modules do not support Windows. Current Python pty 
documentation suggest Windows might be supported:

but I have confirmed that it is not while adding pty usage to gdbgui.

The new Windows Psuedo Console, ConPTY, available in Windows 10, now makes this 
possible. 

Proof of existence of a common pty interface for all platforms exists for node 
with the node-pty npm package, which uses ConPTY.
