stdin/stdout fileno() always returning -1 from windows service

[Jeff Epler]

It seems to simply be common wisdom.  e.g.,

http://mail.mems-exchange.org/pipermail/quixote-users/2004-March/002743.html
http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2001-December/000644.html
etc

If you can find chapter and verse on MSDN, more power to you.  This page
implies that the "standard handles" are only available when there is a
console for the application.
