[issue9290] IDLE and Command line present different behavior for sys.stdin

[Jim Jewett]

Jim Jewett <jimjjewett at gmail.com> added the comment:

msvcrt.getwch has a similar failure, returning (2**16)-1.

Because of this, getpass.win_getpass (used as getpass.getpass on windows) echoes the password when using Idle (even without a subprocess), but does not echo passwords when from a command-line python.
