Since Eric assigned this to himself, I will give him a chance to answer. I 
removed the 'easy' tag because it is not clear to me what the remaining issue 
is.

Given "my patch is not necessary and there is no deficiency." from Jack Andrews

I'm no longer working on this, but IIRC, my patch is not necessary and
there is no deficiency.

yes.  well, at least i thought so.  today, pdb works fine
with no patch.  i must have stumbled across my bug
in the middle of patching cmd.py.

if i notice anything strange, i'll let you know.

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Jack, several questions.
Are you saying that when stdin is a pipe and not a tty, pdb works better with 
use_rawinput set False? 
Are you sure that the auto setting is correct in all use cases?
Are you aware that you can set use_rawinput 'manually'?
Have you read my previous response msg118093?
Are you willing to help sort out the questions and issues therein?

hi guys,

this makes Cmd a bit more useful.

my use case is talking to pdb via pipe
(ie. subprocess module).  pdb doesn't 
behave very well if stdin is not a tty.
