Summary: Python segfaults when sys.stdout is changed in getattr

Initial Comment:
Reproducible source digest:

import sys 
class StdoutGuard: 
    def __getattr__(self, attr): 
        sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__ 
        raise RuntimeError("Premature access to 
sys.stdout.%s" % attr) 
sys.stdout = StdoutGuard() 
print "Oops!"
