tty provides a nice, simple interface for setting the terminal to raw
or cbreak modes. However, it doesn't provide a way to put the terminal
back in the mode it was in before that change. Every responsible
application should leave the terminal in the mode it found it in -
unless the application is called sttty, of course. tty needs a
"setsane" function.

The patch to add the setsane method is in patch #1088078.

As the proposed patch shows, the requested feature is
already there: the application merely needs to invoke the
tcgetattr function at the beginning, and tcsetattr at the end.

As Martin says, the functionality is present. If still you think we have
a new method here, please raise a discussion in python-dev regarding this.

Thank you!
