How to turn console echo back on after tty.setcbre

Question

I am using this command to disable echo and fetch user input using sys.stdin.read(1)

tty.setcbreak(sys.stdin.fileno())

However during the course of my program I need to again enable and disable console echo. I tried

fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old)

But that aint working. How can I elegantly enable echo?

ps: I am using code from Python nonblocking console input by mizipzor

Update: Heres the code:

import sys
import select
import tty
import termios
import time

def is_number(s):
    try:
        float(s)
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False

def calc_time(traw):
    tfactor = {
    's':    1,
    'm':    60,
    'h':    3600,
    }
    if is_number(g[:-1]):
        return float(g[:-1]) * tfactor.get(g[-1])
    else:
        return None   
def isData():
    return select.select([sys.stdin], [], [], 0) == ([sys.stdin], [], [])

old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(sys.stdin)
try:
    tty.setcbreak(sys.stdin.fileno())
    i = 0
    while 1:
        print i
        i += 1
        time.sleep(.1)
        if isData():
            c = sys.stdin.read(1)
            if c:
                if c == 'p':
                    print """Paused. Use the Following commands now:

                    #expect these lines to enable echo back again
                    fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
                    old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
                    old[3] = old[3] & termios.ECHO
                    termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old)

                    g = raw_input("(ENABLE ECHO HERE):")

                    if g == '\x1b':
                        print "Escaping..."
                        break
                    if g == 'n':
                        #log error
                        continue
                    elif g[-1] in ['s','m','h']:
                        tval = calc_time(g)
                        if tval is not None:
                            print "Waiting for %s seconds."%(tval)
                            time.sleep(tval)
                    continue

finally:
    termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)

Answer 1

Writing this:

termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)

Instead of the above 4 lines solved it.

Answer 2

If you take a look at the docs, there's an example there:

http://docs.python.org/library/termios.html#module-termios

You are missing the setting on of the echo flag:

old[3] = old[3] | termios.ECHO

So, the whole thing is:

fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
old[3] = old[3] | termios.ECHO
termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old)
