sys.stdin is just an instance of a built-in file object type, from
which it inherits its methods.  I don't have my copy of the Essential
book in front of me, but there's probably a discussion of these
methods around the sections of other built in object types.

You can also find some information in the tutorial (section 7.2, page
43), and in the library reference (section 2.1.6, page 11).
