<p>These functions provide access to some useful capabilities on Windows platforms.
Some higher-level modules use these functions to build the  Windows
implementations of their services.  For example, the <a class="reference internal" href="getpass.html#module-getpass" title="getpass: Portable reading of passwords and retrieval of the userid."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">getpass</span></tt></a> module uses
this in the implementation of the <a class="reference internal" href="getpass.html#module-getpass" title="getpass: Portable reading of passwords and retrieval of the userid."><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">getpass()</span></tt></a> function.</p>
<p>Further documentation on these functions can be found in the Platform API
documentation.</p>
<p>The module implements both the normal and wide char variants of the console I/O
api. The normal API deals only with ASCII characters and is of limited use
for internationalized applications. The wide char API should be used where
ever possible</p>
