New submission from Mateusz Loskot:
In pythonrun.c, there is function initstdio() with the following test:
static int
initstdio(void)
{
...
/* Set sys.stdin */
fd = fileno(stdin);
/* Under some conditions stdin, stdout and stderr may not be connected
* and fileno() may point to an invalid file descriptor. For example
* GUI apps don't have valid standard streams by default.
*/
if (fd < 0) {
#ifdef MS_WINDOWS
std = Py_None;
Py_INCREF(std);
#else
goto error;
#endif
}
else {
...
}
This function is fails for non-console applications (i.e. MFC) built using
Visual C++ 11.0 (Visual Studio 2012), becasue **strangely**, fileno(stdin) ==
0, so this test results in false and Python initialisation routines attempt to
setup streams.
Apparently, fileno(stdin) return value has changed between Visual C++ 10.0 (VS
2010)
and 11.0. The VC++ 10.0 reports fileno(stdin) == -2.
