The actual code receives input by name, but stdin is received in **kwargs. The test is just:

    if input is not None:
        if 'stdin' in kwargs:
            raise ValueError(...)
        kwargs['stdin'] = PIPE

Perhaps just change `if 'stdin' in kwargs:` to:

    if kwargs.get('stdin') is not None:

so it obeys the documented API (that says stdin defaults to None, and therefore passing stdin=None explicitly should be equivalent to not passing it at all)?
