 Hi!
 
 I wanna write a file processor in python (Windows XP).
 I wanna use pipe, and not parameters.
 
 When I write this:
 
 ...
 l = []
 while 1:
  t = sys.stdin.read(1)
  if t == '':
  break
  l.append(t)
 
 t = .join(l)
 ...
 
 and use code this:
 process.py test.txt
 
 I got:
 Bad file descriptor
 
 What I do wrong? I need to call this module in another format?
 Or I read in wrong way?
 

The problem appear to be that MS-Windows doesn't make pipe's for 
programs it opens via its file type association mechanism.

Essentially MS-Windows is treating the .py file as a document and
using python to open the document.

Try running you program as:

python process.py test.txt

Note for this to work python will have to be on your path.  If
it isn't use the full path to you copy of python. for e.g.:

c:\python25\python.exe process.py test.txt
