Yes that's what I meant, I just think it needs to be considered if we're thinking about making it (or something like it) the default python sys.std*. Maybe the decision will be that maintaining compatibility with these cases isn't important. > > - The sys.stdout obtained via streams.enable does not support > > .buffer / .buffer.raw / .detach > > - All of these objects provide a fileno() interface. > > Is this wrong?

I don't know if it's *wrong* per se (same with the no buffer/raw thing etc), I'm just concerned about the possible effects on code that is written against the current implementation. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
