Subject: If $PYTHONNEWIO is set and nonempty,
X-Git-Tag: v3.0a1~1045
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2fa74bbad5bf780b838b4da3ce827ae329ccddc1;p=python

If $PYTHONNEWIO is set and nonempty,
io.py is used for open() and sys.std{in,out,err}.
Note that this currently breaks about 25 tests.
