test.support.captured_stdout() test.support.captured_stderr() A context managers that temporarily replaces the named stream with io.StringIO object. Example use with output streams: with captured_stdout() as stdout, captured_stderr() as stderr: print("hello") print("error", file=sys.stderr) assert stdout.getvalue() == "hello\n" assert stderr.getvalue() == "error\n" Example use with input stream: with captured_stdin() as stdin: stdin.write('hello\n') stdin.seek(0) # call t

termios.tcsendbreak(fd, duration) Send a break on file descriptor fd. A zero duration sends a break for 0.25 –0.5 seconds; a nonzero duration has a system dependent meaning.

termios.tcflow(fd, action) Suspend or resume input or output on file descriptor fd. The action argument can be TCOOFF to suspend output, TCOON to restart output, TCIOFF to suspend input, or TCION to restart input.

@test.support.anticipate_failure(condition) A decorator to conditionally mark tests with unittest.expectedFailure(). Any use of this decorator should have an associated comment identifying the relevant tracker issue.

termios.tcsetattr(fd, when, attributes) Set the tty attributes for file descriptor fd from the attributes, which is a list like the one returned by tcgetattr(). The when argument determines when the attributes are changed: TCSANOW to change immediately, TCSADRAIN to change after transmitting all queued output, or TCSAFLUSH to change after transmitting all queued output and discarding all queued input.

termios.tcflush(fd, queue) Discard queued data on file descriptor fd. The queue selector specifies which queue: TCIFLUSH for the input queue, TCOFLUSH for the output queue, or TCIOFLUSH for both queues.

termios.tcgetattr(fd) Return a list containing the tty attributes for file descriptor fd, as follows: [iflag, oflag, cflag, lflag, ispeed, ospeed, cc] where cc is a list of the tty special characters (each a string of length 1, except the items with indices VMIN and VTIME, which are integers when these fields are defined). The interpretation of the flags and the speeds as well as the indexing in the cc array must be done using the symbolic constants defined in the termios module.

tempfile.TemporaryFile(mode='w+b', buffering=None, encoding=None, newline=None, suffix=None, prefix=None, dir=None) Return a file-like object that can be used as a temporary storage area. The file is created securely, using the same rules as mkstemp(). It will be destroyed as soon as it is closed (including an implicit close when the object is garbage collected). Under Unix, the directory entry for the file is either not created at all or is removed immediately after the file is created. Oth

tempfile.TemporaryDirectory(suffix=None, prefix=None, dir=None) This function securely creates a temporary directory using the same rules as mkdtemp(). The resulting object can be used as a context manager (see Examples). On completion of the context or destruction of the temporary directory object the newly created temporary directory and all its contents are removed from the filesystem. The directory name can be retrieved from the name attribute of the returned object. When the returned ob

tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile(max_size=0, mode='w+b', buffering=None, encoding=None, newline=None, suffix=None, prefix=None, dir=None) This function operates exactly as TemporaryFile() does, except that data is spooled in memory until the file size exceeds max_size, or until the file’s fileno() method is called, at which point the contents are written to disk and operation proceeds as with TemporaryFile(). The resulting file has one additional method, rollover(), which causes the file to rol
