Research direction

Start by reviewing the interactive console behavior and the linked dependency, bpo-17620, which concerns console input not using sys.stdin. Reproduce the case where stdout is redirected and determine whether interactive input still works. Done means the interactive console accepts input in that scenario without regressing normal console behavior.
