I imported sys but when I use it, it says:
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'original_stdout'

Correct, sys has no attribute 'original_stdout'.

Do you have a file called `sys.py`? Rename it.

If you intend to import the stdlib sys and succeed, the original stdout is called '__stdout__'.  See 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.__stdin__, including the note that it may be None on Windows.  Also peruse that doc to see what attributes sys *does* have.

When you have questions about using python, please post first to python-list or other question-answering forums.
