I had a look at the C code, but it's a bit confusing.
If I'm reading it correctly the prompt is written to the "real" stderr if
and only if sys.stdin and sys.stdout are attached to a terminal.
$ python -c"raw_input('prompt\n')" 2>tmp.txt
foo
$ cat tmp.txt
prompt
$ python -c"raw_input('prompt\n')" 2>tmp.txt | cat
foo
prompt
$ cat tmp.txt
I wonder if that is intentional.
