[New-bugs-announce] [issue4736] io.BufferedRWPair.closed broken; tries to call bool writer.closed property

[Miles]

New submission from Miles <semanticist at gmail.com>:

The closed property of BufferedRWPair attempts to call the closed property 
of its writer as a method, which fails because writer.closed is a bool.

The following code demonstrates the error:

import socket
socket.socket().makefile('rwb').closed
