[New-bugs-announce] [issue24829] Use interactive input even if stdout is redirected

[Adam Bartoš]

New submission from Adam Bartoš:

Currently, if one redirects stdout, readline hook is not used (see https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Parser/myreadline.c#l208). I would assume that if I run Python as "py -i > output.txt", I can use GNU readline or other readline hook for input just like normal; only the output is redirected to the file.
