setup.py: ask() takes the default on EOF, so a non-interactive run installs VS Build Tools + CUDA via winget #393
Description
ask() (setup.py:151) returns default on EOFError. The build-tools prompt (setup.py:1053) is
if ask(" Install them now?", ["y", "n"], "y", yes) != "y":
with default "y". So a run with stdin closed or redirected goes straight to winget install ... --disable-interactivity for Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools and CUDA 13.0, about 8-10 GB. Examples: a CI step, an agent driving the installer, or python setup.py < NUL. Nobody answered yes.
Suggestion:
- On EOF, either fail or use the safe default for prompts that install system software.
- Or make the default for this prompt
"n"whenever stdin is not a TTY.
--yes already covers the case where someone really wants unattended installs.
