[issue17620] Python interactive console doesn't use sys.stdin for input

[Drekin]

Drekin added the comment:

My naive picture of ideal situation looks like this: When the interactive loop wants input, it just calls sys.stdin.readline, which delegates to sys.stdin.buffer.raw.readinto or .read, these can use GNU readline if available to get the data. May I ask, what's wrong with my picture?
