The EOF character should do the job on any platform. On Windows/DOS,
the EOF character is ctrl-Z, on *nix it's ctrl-D. Here is a transcript
of a (brief) python session on win2K:

C:\>python
Python 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> ^Z
C:\>

IMHO, generators, i.e. resumable functions, are the best thing since
sliced bread ;-) but enumerate is pretty useful too.
