[issue20074] open() of read-write non-seekable streams broken

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I don't think getpass will fail, since it uses os.open, not open.

Presumably you can work around the problem by opening the stream twice: once for reading and once for writing.  I'll leave it to Antoine to say whether or not that is in fact the expected solution, or if this is a design bug.
