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

[Roger Serwy]

Roger Serwy added the comment:

I agree with Serhiy that the patch should be updated to better explain why the extra reference to stdin was being held. The attached patch provides that update in case anyone considers applying it in the future.

Terry, are you suggesting that the code should read like "sys.__stdin__ = sys.stdin" within MyHandler in Lib/idlelib/run.py ?
