Description
Is there a reason for this or could it be a mistake? ptpython for example calls prompt_toolkit.output.defaults.create_output() without parameters which means it requires some hacking to make it work in my situation where I've replaced stdout and stdin.

Research direction
Start at prompt_toolkit.output.defaults.create_output(), which the issue identifies as the entry point using sys.stdout by default. Trace how its default streams are selected and compare that behavior with ptpython's parameterless call. Done means the behavior for replaced stdout and stdin is clarified or corrected, with the relevant behavior covered by the project's tests.
