Details

Currently mach uses blessings to do terminal control but that doesn't support windows. It's possible to do most things on Windows too but you have to talk direct to the OS APIs via ctypes. I made a simple abstract terminal control class a while ago that might be useful to steal from: http://svn.oxymoronical.com/viewvc/mozilla/BuildWatch/trunk/console.py?view=markup. It has an implementation for Windows and an implementation for OSX/Linux.
