[New-bugs-announce] [issue7953] RawIOBase.read fails with an AttributeError

[Andrew McNabb]

New submission from Andrew McNabb <amcnabb at mcnabbs.org>:

I was trying to open stdin in binary mode and ran the following:

>>> RawIOBase(sys.stdin.fileno()).read()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'RawIOBase' object has no attribute 'readinto'
>>>

I would expect read() to read data instead of crashing.
