[New-bugs-announce] [issue18553] os.isatty() is not Unix only

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

It seems like os.isatty(0) works on Windows too. Documentation says Unix only:

  http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.isatty
  http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/os.html#os.isatty


C:\>py -c "import os; print os.isatty(0)"
True

C:\>echo "x" | py -c "import os; print os.isatty(0)"
False

C:\>py -c "import os; print os.isatty(0)" | more
True
