Because the OP states that he is using Python 3.1 (look at the subject line)
and it doesn't work in 3.1.

For what it is worth, I cannot confirm that alleged behaviour:

steve at orac:~$ python3.1 -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.fileno())"
1


I suspect that the OP may be using an IDE which does something funny to
sys.stdout etc., or perhaps he has accidentally shadowed them. The OP
failed to copy and paste the actual traceback, so who knows what is
actually happening?
