Manuel Jacob <me@manueljacob.de> [Sat, 18 Jul 2020 12:35:55 +0200] rev 45158
windows: don’t set `softspace` attribute in `winstdout` Python 2 file objects have the `softspace` attribute (https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#file.softspace), which is used by the print statement to track its internal state. The documentation demands from file-like objects only that the attribute is writable and initialized to 0. Method `file.write()` sets it to 0, but this is not documented. Historically, sys.stdout was replaced by an instance of the `winstdout` class, so it needed to behave exactly the same (the softspace fix was introduced in 705278e70457). Nowadays we don’t replace sys.stdout and don’t use the print statement on `winstdout` instances, so we can safely drop it.
