There are other place for native strings -- sys.argv.

if sys.argv[1] == str('-'):
     f = sys.stdin
else:
     f = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')

Yet another pitfall -- sys.stdin is bytes stream in 2.x and text stream 
in 3.x. For reading binary data:

if sys.argv[1] == str('-'):
     if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
         f = sys.stdin.buffer.raw
     else:
         f = sys.stdin
else:
     f = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')

Reading text data is even more complicated in Python 2.x.
