Name of the file associated with sys.std*

Hi,

It might be a trivial question, but I seem to be lost.

Is there a way to get names of the files associated with stdin/out/
err if those are redirected to the files at the shell command-line?

Thanks,
Henryk

I doubt there is a portable way. On most linux-based systems,
os.readlink("/proc/self/fd/1")
and
os.readlink("/proc/self/fd/2")
will work.
