The :mod:tty module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw modes.

Because it requires the :mod:termios module, it will work only on Unix.

The :mod:tty module defines the following functions:

.. function:: setraw(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)

Change the mode of the file descriptor fd to raw. If when is omitted, it defaults to :const:termios.TCSAFLUSH, and is passed to :func:termios.tcsetattr.

.. function:: setcbreak(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)

Change the mode of file descriptor fd to cbreak. If when is omitted, it defaults to :const:termios.TCSAFLUSH, and is passed to :func:termios.tcsetattr.
