2.1. Invoking the Interpreter
Hi, There is a bug or an ambiguity on http://docs.python.org/tutorial/interpreter.html It says "Note that there is a difference between 'python file' and 'python <file'. In the latter case, input requests from the program,..." Must read as follows; Execute statements from a file (inputs requested from stdin) $ python file.py Execute statements from a file (inputs requested from file) $ python file.py < input While python <input does not work in my case using Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2. Best Wishes, Mehmet Suzen Execute statements from a file (inputs requested from stdin) $ python file.py Execute statements from a file (inputs requested from file) $ python file.py < input

Hi Mehmet, this is indeed a confusing paragraph; it is however correct as written. The intention is to tell the reader that python < file will read the code from *file* and doesn't allow any input to stdin afterwards. I've removed the paragraph completely since it is definitely not material for a tutorial anyway. regards, Georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk0ZrSsACgkQN9GcIYhpnLCV4ACcC27gi93aCewd2ZLsiNL5nFCs bB4AnjbiBfRj6AU4iY0kqjAqxDorslUF =Le+y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
