[New-bugs-announce] [issue10396] stdin argument to pdb.Pdb doesn't work unless you also set Pdb.use_rawinput = False

[Michael Hoffman]

New submission from Michael Hoffman <qq9jsuvyyw at snkmail.com>:

If you create a Pdb instance with an stdin argument, the default behavior is for commands to be retrieved using raw_input(), which uses sys.stdin instead, thereby causing the stdin argument to be without effect.

You can work around this by setting the use_rawinput attribute of the instance to False, but this should be done whenever an stdin argument is given to the constructor.
