The manpage of Python2 is clear:

   -u     Force stdin, stdout and stderr to be totally unbuffered.

stdin is also unbuffered.

It used only used for buffered output. Without the patch, 
sys.stdout.name == sys.stdout.buffer.name == '1' :-/

New patch:
 - use create_stdio() to create unbuffered sys.stdin
 - rename Py_UnbufferedStdoutFlag to Py_UnbufferedStdioFlag
 - replace "Py_UnbufferedStdioFlag++;" by "Py_UnbufferedStdioFlag = 
1;"
 - change create_stdio(): (...)

Note: there is no test for unbuffered input because I don't know how 
to test this (even by manual tests) :-p
