How can I get the Python module termios to work in Cygwin?

Question

I want to run Urwid in Windows so I downloaded and installed Cygwin (default packages only). I tried the Hello World example:

import urwid

txt = urwid.Text(u"Hello World")
fill = urwid.Filler(txt, 'top')
loop = urwid.MainLoop(fill)
loop.run()

but it complains about termios:

$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import urwid
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    from urwid.graphics import (BigText, LineBox, BarGraphMeta, BarGraphError,
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\graphics.py", line 30, in <module>
    from urwid.display_common import AttrSpec
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\urwid-1.1.1-py2.7-win-amd64.egg\urwid\display_common.py", line 23, in <module>
    import termios
ImportError: No module named termios

I went back to the installer and installed all packages matching term as search term, but I still get the same error.

Please, all you Cygwin deities out there, could you assist a feeble noob in sorting this annoying issue out?

EDIT: I am running Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7 if that matters.

Answer 1

After installing the actual Python packages and libmpfr4 that was also missing everything worked just fine...
