Describe the bug In arepl v1.0.24 it gets the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  line 1, in <module>
io.UnsupportedOperation: not writable

To Reproduce

print('hi', file=open(2))

Expected behavior

Traceback (most recent call last):
  line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Cannot open console output buffer for reading

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Other Information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Python Version: 3.8.1

Additional context Same error with file 1. Using sys.stdout will result in a error matching vanilla python as expected.

I have run into this in the same case; I am trying to open the stdout as a file for reading in binary mode, but I cannot using this method because of this error.

Do you mean you're trying to open stdout as a file for writing? Stdout is for output only, it should not be read from.
