Yes, usually, but that won't work in this case (look at my previous
post around the 'cin >> line' line). This is what I came up with:
class StreamLineBuffer:
def __init__(self):
self.buf = ""
def __rrshift__(self, stream):
self.buf = stream.readline()
def __str__(self):
return self.buf
cin = sys.stdin
buf = StreamLineBuffer()
cin >> buf
line = str(buf)
Works like a charm :)
