Summary: IDE stdin doesn't have readlines

Initial Comment:
This was submitted by email by macrulezatsofthomedotnet. It looks reasonable, but please have a look too.

SimpleStdin doesn't provide a readlines method
	some scripts call sys.stdin.readlines(). the default stdin does not support this behaviour. I added it by copying and pasting the readlines method from StringIO, and adapting the indentation to fit. works beautifully: it asks the user for a line of input repeatedly until the user clicks 'Cancel'. not perfect UI, but it's something.

Hm, I find the stdin.readline() emulation already a big pain, and I'm hesitant to add an even uglier kludge to support readlines(). The IDE is simply not well suited for stdin-based scripts, they are _much_ better run from the command line. But: an actual patch might still make it in...
