Is isatty a built-in, a function of os only available on Unix, or a function of sys available on all platforms? It appears to be a function in the sys module and so the doc for it should go there?

This question definitely is off-topic for python-dev. Python-dev readers are supposed to study the Python source code to answer such a question.

So, really, what is the meaning of "64" as the return from sys.stdout.isatty()?

Use the source, Luke.
