Summary: Can't pipe input to a python program

Initial Comment:
Details in attached file.  Basically, I want to be 
able (in Windows) to pipe input as in:
    type spam.txt | eggs.py
so that eggs can read the file spam.txt.  But I am
getting an  Errno 9: Bad file descriptor error message.

Thanks.

        Cheers,

If I print out sys.stdin.fileno(), I get  -1 .
Ver.exe outputs: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
This is indeed the standard command interpreter; I set the
prompt envinronment variable to output just ">".

Thanks...

What shell is this in? I cannot reproduce this in a cmd.exe
window. However, that you report the version as "Windows 5.1
(Build 2600)" and not "Microsoft Windows XP [Version
5.1.2600]" (as ver.exe does), and that you use just ">" as
the prompt suggests you might be using a different command
interpreter.

Can you please add

print sys.stdin.fileno()

into the script? On my system, it gives "0".
