I'm using this sort of standard thing: for line in fileinput.input(): do_stuff(line)
and wondering whether it reads until it hits an EOF and then passes lines (one at a time) into the variable line. This appears to be the behaviour when it's reading STDIN interactively (i.e. from the keyboard). As a test, I tried this: for line in fileinput.input(): print '**', line and found that it would print nothing until I hit Ctl-D, then print all the lines, then wait for another Ctl-D, and so on (until I pressed Ctl-D twice in succession to end the loop). Is it possible to configure this to pass each line of input into line as it comes? Thanks, Adam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
