reading piped input in Windows

[Georgy Pruss]

Hmmm.

t1.py | t2.py  -- doesn't work, because:
t1.py >tt       -- DOES work
t2.py <tt       -- does NOT work. sys.stdin.fileno() shows -1 instead of 0
python t2.py <tt  -- works

What's your Registry key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command]?
Mine shows "(default)" = """C:\Apps\Python\python.exe "%1" %*"""

>>> sys.version
'2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> sys.getwindowsversion() # XP
(5, 1, 2600, 2, 'Service Pack 1')

| It works OK for me on Windows XP SP1 with Python 2.3.2:
|
| C:\Test\PythonTest >>t1.py | t2.py
| < a b c
| >
| < d e f
| >
|
| What versions of Windows and Python are you running?
|
| BTW, here's a simpler way to write the loop in t2.py:
|
| import sys
| for line in sys.stdin:
|     print '<', line, '>'
|
| Or this, to get rid of the extra newlines (not clear if those are intended
| or not):
|
| import sys
| for line in sys.stdin:
|     print '<', line[:-1], '>'
