Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
If one starts IDLE from a command-line console (python -m idlelib) or Python
console (import idlelib.idle), sys.__stdout__ is the TextIOWraper for that
console and .fileno() returns 1. .get_terminal_size() will then return the
console size. The exception occurs when IDLE is started from an icon.
Implementing David's suggestion for shutil will be easy: insert just before the
fileno call
if not sys.__stdout__: raise ValueError()
This is what os.get_terminal_size() raises on IDLE. Comments in the code in
posixpath.c make it clear that this is intended guis and the low_level os
function.
This came up today on Stackoverflow when someone tried to use
matplotlib.pyplot, which calls os.get_terminal_size, on IDLE.

(Patching shutil will not help for the os call.)
