read from standard input

[Bujji]

what is the problem you faced in running it on Linux or windows
we'll use IDLE only

on linux platform like this also you can run see below
ubuntu at siva:~/Desktop$ python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Oct  7 2009, 11:27:27)
[GCC 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> data=sys.stdin.read()
hello world
this is a test     (give Cntrl D to exit)
>>> print data
hello world
this is a test

>>>

(I can put data into some other file as well)
This is working very well on my PC

It should work same on the windows too.
but I don't know why its is failing, and thats what i want to know.
If any other solution is there let know to get it work on windows ( python
IDLE)
welcome


Thanks,
Siva
