Pip: crash when `sys.stdin` is `None` in subversion.py

[emilburzo]

Environment

• pip version: 19.2.3
• Python version: 3.7.4
• OS: archlinux

Description

The code that determines if to use interactive mode in subversion.py breaks when sys.stdin is None

Expected behavior

Does not crash.

How to Reproduce

(On linux)

1. Run: virtualenv -p python3 env
2. Run: source env/bin/activate
3. Run: python -c 'import pip._internal as pip' 0<&- (this simulates a None sys.stdin)

Output

$ virtualenv -p python3 env
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /tmp/env/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /tmp/env/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...
done.
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ python -c 'import pip._internal as pip' 0<&-

Notes

And in case you're wondering how I got to this internal API: I'm running (on AWS Lambda) awslimitchecker, which uses versionfinder, which uses pip

Have you reported the incorrect usage of pip's internals to the offending project(s)? They should fix their code. Also, the python docs don't seem to indicate that None is a valid value for sys.stdin. Experimentally, it seems like it's possible though:

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ python3 -V
Python 3.7.0
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ python3 -c 'import sys; print(repr(sys.stdin))' 0<&-
None

Having said that, the fix seems relatively harmless so I have no real objection to adding a bit of defensive code to pip.

FWIW, python src/pip install --upgrade pip 0<&- on master, also crashes the same way and the proposed patch fixes it. :)
