[Python-Dev] raw_input prompt not printed on sys.stderr

Hi, While playing with non-standard sys.stdout/stderr, I noticed that the prompt of raw_input was printed on stderr (not sys.stderr) (see Parser/myreadline.c:120). I found an issue (http://bugs.python.org/issue1927) from 2008 talking about changing stderr to stdout. But nobody in the thread seems bothered by the use of stdout/err over the ones in the sys module. So, is there any good reason I might not be aware of that justifies the use of stderr over sys.stderr ? -- Clement "Hakril" Rouault
