[issue27805] In Python 3, open('/dev/stdout', 'a') raises OSError with errno=ESPIPE

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

The origin of this seems to be r68835 and Issue 5008. Victor mentioned imitating the Gnu C library. Maybe there is a better way that also supports non-seekable files better, perhaps handle ESPIPE without failing.

This also affects Python 2, if you consider io.open() or io.FileIO directly.
