raw_input bug only in cygwin python

[David Carson]

Here is a snippet of code:

01: #!/usr/bin/env python
02: 
03: list = []
04: while 1:
05:     try:
06:         stuff = raw_input("[^D to exit]: ")
07:     except EOFError:
08:         print "got EOF"
09:         break
10:     list.append(stuff)
11: 
12: raw_input("bang! ")


This works on every Python environment I've tried but cygwin (Win2000
-- I haven't got NT to try it):
  Python 2.2 (#1, Dec 31 2001, 15:21:18)
  [GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)] on cygwin

In this environment, the EOFError is caught.  Then the "bang! " prompt
for the raw_input() outside the loop is printed, but immediately the
program exits with an uncaught EOFError.

This code works with:
- ActiveState Python, 2.1 on Win2000
- python 2.2 on Mandrake
- python 1.5.2 on RedHat
and everywhere else, I'm sure.

Is this a known problem with cygwin?

Cheers,
David
