In any case, that -E writes to stdout and -S to file is an inconsistency which looks more like a historical accident than a planned feature to me.
A possible reason is that with -S there is an obvious choice for the output file name, i.e. <inputfile>.s, but there is no conventional way of naming a preprocessed C source file, so it's best to make the user specify it. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
