[New-bugs-announce] [issue5313] multiprocessing.process using os.close(sys.stdin.fileno) instead of sys.stdin.close()

[Graham Dumpleton]

New submission from Graham Dumpleton <Graham.Dumpleton at gmail.com>:

In multiprocessing.process it contains the code:

    def _bootstrap(self):
       ....
            if sys.stdin is not None:
                try:
                    os.close(sys.stdin.fileno())
                except (OSError, ValueError):
                    pass

This code should probably be calling sys.stdin.close() and not 
os.close(sys.stdin.fileno()).

The code as is will fail if sys.stdin had been replaced with an alternate 
file like object, such as StringIO, which doesn't have a fileno() method.
