> This snippet let my interpreter crash immediately Well, I don't understand the issue. If you write a bug, Python crashes. Ok, so? Please fix your bug. Don't expect Python from recovering from any bug. The io stack of Python 3 is safer because it has a direct control on file descriptors, whereas Python 2 io stack relies on the C library "stdio.h". I suggest to close this issue as "wontfix" and add it to the long list of "Bugs in the C stdio (used by the Python I/O)": https://haypo-notes.readthedocs.org/python.html#bugs-in-the-c-stdio-used-by-the-python-i-o
