[New-bugs-announce] [issue23566] RFE: faulthandler.register() should support file descriptors

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Currently, functions of the faulthandler module require a file-like object (with a fileno() method). It would be nice to accept also file descriptors (int).

Example of code using faulthandler which creates an useless file object just to pass a file descriptor:
https://github.com/nicoddemus/pytest-faulthandler/blob/master/pytest_faulthandler.py#L13
