The first workaround that suggests itself it to use a more modern Python. I've 
got 3.4.2 here, and it goes:

    Python 3.4.2 (default, Nov  5 2014, 21:19:51)
    [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.54)] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import sys
    >>> for stream in (sys.stdin, sys.stdout, sys.stderr):
    ...   print(stream.fileno())
    ...
    0
    1
    2
    >>>

In short, in 3.4.2 it just works.
