When I try to run the command as outlined in

IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

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

I think the error depends on the specific OS version/service pack. But at least on XP this appears to fix it:
