There's no reason to call isatty() if it's not an S_IFCHR file. This will avoid calling isatty() on regular files that happen to be empty. In Windows, isatty(fd) is based solely on the file type, which is flagged in the fd record when a file descriptor is opened for a native file handle. It's not a system call, but it's also nearly worthless for how isatty() is typically used, since it's true for any S_IFCHR file (e.g. con, nul, com1). ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
