I haven't been able to test the latest change on Windows, but from what I've been reading. using sys.stdin.isatty should work.

    Glance skip prompting if stdin isn't a tty

    Don't have glance issue prompts if stdin isn't a tty. Fixes bug 884116.

    In glance's user_confirm routine, check if stdin is a tty and if
    not, just return the default value. If it is a tty, then continue
    with the raw_input call to issue the prompt and get the response.
    Latest patch includes recommended change to check for isatty attr before
    using it.

    Added myself to Authors.
