This works well.
You can use the code from https://docs.python.org/3/library/fileinput.html#module-fileinput to change this code: for line in sys.stdin.readlines(): process(line) to this: import fileinput for line in fileinput.input(): process(line) Then, write the data you would expect to come on STDIN to a file and run your program: $ python my-program.py myfile It will work as normal when you run it normally: $ data-generation-command | python my-program.py -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
