[issue30431] input function truncates prompt by NULL byte

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

As near as I can tell, the patch introduces a regression.  The doc for input(prompt) says "If the prompt argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline."  The handling of the prompt is up to stdout.write and thence physical displays devices.  Python does not specify what happens with any particular character, including \r, \t, and astral chars.

C:\Users\Terry>python -c "import sys; sys.stdout.write('some\0 text\n')
some  text

The bug on Windows is that input('some\0 text\n') does not produce the same display.
