New submission from Armin Ronacher:
The documentation recommends replacing sys.stdin with a binary stream
currently: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin
This sounds like a bad idea because it will break pretty much everything in
Python in the process.
As example:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdin = sys.stdin.detach()
>>> input('Test: ')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: '_io.BufferedReader' object has no attribute 'errors'
>>> sys.stdout = sys.stdout.detach()
>>> print('Hello World!')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
