Previously raised here [1], contextlib.redirect_stdio would be a utility function to help redirect standard input, output and error. The idea of a function called "stdio" that does the same thing was also raised. The function would combine the functionality of contextlib.redirect_stdout and contextlib.redirect_stderr which work as described in the documentation [2].
It would also add "contextlib.redirect_stdin" functionality which currently appears to be missing. The usage described in the original python-ideas post looks like this: > There's already contextlib.redirect_stdout() and > contextlib.redirect_stderr(). Adding contextlib.redirect_stdin() would > be logical, but I think a more flexible > > contextlib.redirect_stdio(stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None) > > would be better - where None (the default) means "leave this alone". I'm interested to hear what people think about this.
