I found a little difference in isatty implementaions:

Windows
Determines whether a file descriptor is associated with a character device [1]

Unix
Test whether a file descriptor refers to a terminal [2]

So, we having a same behavior for pipes, but different for I/O redirection with pseudo-character devices:

$ ./python -c "import os;print(os.isatty(0))" < /dev/null
False

e:\PCbuild>python_d.exe -c "import os;print(os.isatty(0))" < NUL
True

Other pseudo devices works simular:
e:\PCbuild>python_d.exe -c "import os;print(os.isatty(0))" < CON
True

I having a snippet to fix that, should I open a new issue for patch?
