[issue17838] Can't assign a different value for sys.stdin in IDLE

[Guilherme Simões]

New submission from Guilherme Simões:

Something like:

sys.stdin = open('file')

works in Python but doesn't in the IDLE shell. After trying to do that, a dialog is open asking if the user wants to kill the program. This happens because the method "close" of the class "PseudoInputFile" (which was created in #17585) is called.
