[issue16635] Interpreter not closing stdout/stderr on exit

[Filip Zyzniewski]

Filip Zyzniewski added the comment:

If stdout was closed before closing stderr, then stdout problems could be reported, and that is what I would expect when using Python this way.

os.fsync(1) helps, but only if preceeded by sys.stdout.flush() and it seems a bit cumbersome.

Is there any downside to doing close(1) explicitely?

cat, grep, dd and echo close their stdout, why couldn't Python do this?
