Python bindings for the winpty pseudo terminal library. It allows to create and communicate with Windows processes that print outputs and recieve inputs via console input and output pipes.
Since mid November/2017, Anaconda, Inc has stopped funding Spyder development, after doing it for the past 18 months. Because of that, development will focus from now on maintaining Spyder 3 at a much slower pace than before.
If you want to contribute to maintain Spyder, please consider donating at

We appreciate all the help you can provide us and can't thank you enough for supporting the work of Spyder devs and Spyder development.

To compile pywinpty sources, you must have Cython and MSYS2/MinGW-w64 installed (Alongside the corresponding Python MSVC Runtime). You must also have Winpty's C header and library files available on your include path.
You can install this library by using conda or pip package managers, as it follows:
Using conda (Recommended):
a install pywinpty
Using pip:
install pywinpty
To build from sources, we recommend to use conda to install the following packages:
a install --file requirements.txt
Make sure that you are installing packages from the default channel. If you don't want to use conda, you will need to have the MSYS2/MinGW-w64-flavoured GCC compiler available on your PATH.
You will need to setup the following environment variables:
LIBRARY_INC=<Path to your anaconda installation>\envs\<environment name>\Library\include
LIBRARY_LIB=<Path to your anaconda installation>\envs\<environment name>\Library\lib
LIBRARY_INC=<Path to the folder that contains wintpty headers>
LIBRARY_LIB=<Path to the folder that contains wintpty library files>
To test your compilation environment settings, you can build pywinpty Cython sources locally, by executing:
on setup.py build_ext -i --compiler=mingw32
If everything works correctly, you can install winpty by using pip:
install -U .
Pywinpty offers a single python wrapper around winpty library functions. This implies that using a
single object (winpty.PTY) it is possible to access to all functionallity, as it follows:
gh level usage using `spawn`
winpty import PtyProcess
= PtyProcess.spawn('python')
.write('print("hello, world!")\r\n')
.write('exit()\r\n')
e proc.isalive():
print(proc.readline())
w level usage using the raw `PTY` object
winpty import PTY
art a new winpty-agent process of size (cols, rows)
, rows = 80, 25
ess = PTY(cols, rows)
awn a new console process, e.g., CMD
ess.spawn(ur'C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe')
ad console output (Unicode)
ess.read()
ite input to console (Unicode)
ess.write(u'Text')
size console size
cols, new_rows = 90, 30
ess.set_size(new_cols, new_rows)
ow if the process is alive
e = process.isalive()
ose console pipes
ess.close()
d winpty-agent process
process

We follow PEP8 and PEP257 for pure python packages and Cython/VS to compile extensions. Feel free to send a PR or create an issue if you have any problem/question.
