[New-bugs-announce] [issue37549] os.dup() fails for standard streams on Windows 7

[DaveB]

New submission from DaveB <junkmail4dave at gmail.com>:

os.dup(fd) generates an OSError for standard streams (0: stdin, 1: stdout, 2: stderr) on Windows 7.  Works as expected on Windows 10.

Working backwards we found the issue first appears in Python 3.7.4rc1 and 3.8.0b2 on Windows 7.  Earlier releases work as expected.

>>> import os
>>> os.dup(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [WinError 87] The parameter is incorrect
>>>
