Python 3.7 no sys.stdout.reconfigure is defined

I'm trying to use the sys.stdout.reconfigure function on a Windows machine. It is not surprising that this function doesn't work on Python 3.6: this should be the feature of Python 3.7. Ok, I've tried this on another windows machine with Python 3.7.2 installed: doesn't work as well and throws the same error:

AttributeError: '_io.BufferedWriter' object has no attribute 'reconfigure'

As I found, this function works on Linux machine with Python 3.7.5 installed. So my theory was that this is the feature of one of the intermediate versions, but I found an online interpreter that claims that it is 3.7.0 version... but the function works on this older version.

Now my question is: what is the minimum version of Python that supports this feature, and why doesn't it work on Python 3.7.5 if it does on 3.7.0?

The feature is supposed to work starting with version 3.7.0 (see issue30526 timeline - it was integrated just before the release of Python 3.7.0). So, assuming you had access to any of the pre-release versions (e.g. compiled manually or packages from the source code available just prior to the release) it is possible that they do not include this PR.
