The behavior that I'm seeing is:

% jython
Jython 2.1+ on java1.3.1_02 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.close()
Traceback (innermost last):
  (no code object) at line 0
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file
%

On the other hand, under CPython:

% python
Python 2.2 (#1, Feb 26 2002, 15:49:15) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdin.close()
>>>

I understand raising ValueError, but I can't seem to
even catch
the exception.
