[issue15318] IDLE - sys.stdin is writeable

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

"implements textio badly" is *not* a well-defined issue.

First it is a personal judgement: some think it's really bad, some think it's quite ok.

More importantly, such issue has no clear success criterion: how do we know we are done - can we hope to EVER close such an issue? No, because somebody might still find bad behavior. An issue absolutely needs anobjective test to determine whether it is resolved, and to reproduce it, this is not negotiable. "it behaves badly" provides no test.

In any case,*this* issue is about sys.stdin being writable.

Any objection to checking in my patch?
