It runs properly in a shell (bash), but on another matter:
'>>> r=sys.stdin.read(1) g '>>> r 'g' '>>> r=sys.stdin.read(5) 1234567890 '>>> r '\n1234' '>>>
What exactly happened to my 1234567890? I understand that I am only taking 5 characters, but where does the newline (\n) come from? Is that a remnant from when I terminated the previous 'g' input?
Thanks Caleb

Hi
You are probably typing this within IDLE. Try it after starting python in a shell like DOS or Bash. Should work then (works for me, and I also get the AttributeError in IDLE.
Thanks Caleb

Why do I get an "AttributeError: read" message when I do:
import sys r=sys.stdin.read()
??
I've tried:
r=sys.stdin.read(80) r=sys.stdin.read(1)
same error message.
I couldn't find any reference to this function in my Python book (they have
the stdout but not in).
Some sample code I saw uses this function in the same manner I am and so I
am assuming this is the correct syntax?
Or is this a bug in Python 2.4?
