Apparently you *can* seek on sys.stdin here. If you just want seek() to fail sys.stdin.seek(-1) seems pretty likely to work...

Logged In: YES user_id=6656 I suspect you know this from what I said on IRC, but test_file still fails, because you can tell() on sys.stdin too (I don't really see what you can do about this)

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Sorry, I think I closed the report before I saw that there was another problem. From a man page, it looked like tell() may fail if it is done on a pipe. So maybe the problem can't happen on OS X? We could check if the system is osx/darwin and skip the test. Do you want to skip the test? Since it was for coverage and to ensure nothing bad goes wrong with error handling, it's not awful that it can't be provoked on osx.

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Michael, I reverted the tell() portion. Do all the tests work for you now? Can this be closed?

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Closing since this doesn't seem to be a problem any more on 10.3 and 10.4
