Why is the multiprocessing module, ie., multiprocessing/process.py, in _bootstrap() doing:
os.close(sys.stdin.fileno()) rather than: sys.stdin.close() Technically it is feasible that stdin could have been replaced with something other than a file object, where the replacement doesn't have a fileno() method. In that sort of situation an AttributeError would be raised, which isn't going to be caught as either OSError or ValueError, which is all the code watches out for.
