Issue 3003: sys.stdin.fileno() gives attribute error in IDLE (original) (raw)

I am using IDLE on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and all in all very content to use it. Today I got an AttributeError using sys.stdin.fileno(). A closer look revealed this:

in IDLE:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

import sys dir(sys.stdin) ['_RPCProxy__attributes', '_RPCProxy__getattributes', '_RPCProxy__getmethods', '_RPCProxy__methods', 'class', 'delattr', 'dict', 'doc', 'getattr', 'getattribute', 'hash', 'init', 'module', 'new', 'reduce', 'reduce_ex', 'repr', 'setattr', 'str', 'weakref', 'encoding', 'oid', 'sockio']

in terminal:

:~$ python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I expected to see more or less the same output, is that right? I could not find information on this online, so I report it as a bug.
