In Bazaar VCS we exactly test for hasattr(fd, 'fileno') and only then change mode of stream. And it 
works perfectly for us. (And for me personally).

Here is excerpt of the code from bzrlib/commands.py:

             # force sys.stdout to be binary stream on win32
             if sys.platform == 'win32':
                 fileno = getattr(sys.stdout, 'fileno', None)
                 if fileno:
                     import msvcrt
                     msvcrt.setmode(fileno(), os.O_BINARY)

Of course, you can do it in your own way. It's just working example, nothing more.
