There is a check in Lib/getpass.py:win_getpass that causes a fallback version to be used when `sys.stdin` is changed. I change `sys.stdin` in my `win_unicode_console` package, and in this situation there is no reason to use the fallback version (see https://github.com/Drekin/win-unicode-console/issues/24). It seems the check was added because of some issue with IDLE (https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/6d5ac3c43416). Could this check be changed so it satisfies all the needs?
