does isatty() actually work on windows? I'm a tiny bit surprised!

Hmm... I was just talking about using iter(f.readline, ''), but it does
appear that isatty returns True for sys.stdin in the

Cool thanks for that, it looks like iter(f.readline, '') is the best
solution for the job.

I'm not new to Python, but I didn't realise that sys.stdin could be called
as an iterator, very cool!
However, when I use the following idiom:
for line in sys.stdin:
doSomethingWith(line)
and then type stuff into the program interactively, nothing actually happens
until I hit CTRL-D.
I'm not a Python expert by any means, but you're describing the
classic symptoms of buffering. There is a '-u' command line switch for
python to turn off buffering but that does not affect file iterators.
See http://www.hmug.org/man/1/python.html for instance.

The iterator for files is a little bit like this generator function:
def lines(f):
while 1:
chunk = f.readlines(sizehint)
for line in chunk: yield line
Inside file.readlines, the read from the tty will block until sizehint
bytes have been read or EOF is seen.
