Daniel Diniz <aja...@gmail.com> added the comment: Current docs seem to explain what __stdout__ is for: """ __stdin__ / __stdout__ / __stderr__
These objects contain the original values of stdin, stderr and stdout at the start of the program. They are used during finalization, and could be useful to restore the actual files to known working file objects in case they have been overwritten with a broken object. """ Should a note of warning be added? Something like: Explicitly saving the original IO streams and restoring them after redirection is safer and the recommended idiom. ---------- nosy: +ajaksu2 versions: +Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1096310> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
