That's a Windows problem. When you execute the script as itself 
(either as you do in the command line, or by double-clicking on it), 
it doesn't have valid standard handles.
You have to invoke Python explicitely:

python simple_markup2.py < test_input.txt > test_output.html

(you may need to specify the full path to python.exe, or add the 
directory where Python is installed to your system PATH).

I use stdout this way all the time, with no problem (python 2.6, Windows 
XP).  But as you point out, stdin redirection doesn't seem to work using 
the file associations.  I do get a different error though. When I look 
at sys.stdin, it shows an open file, with handle of zero, as expected.  
But when I do a raw_input(), it gets:
    EOFError: EOF when reading a line
