Python 2.7.1  ... 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdin.flush()
>>>

stdin.flush() could mean to clear (discard) the input buffer. Given that it is 
undefined, the puzzle is that it exists at all, even to be called. 
Consistency across platforms is why we wrote io for Py3. Agreed not a bug for 
2.x.
