I suspect you don't really want to redirect stdin, but instead implement 
raw_input().  If you have control over the script, just change it from 
raw_input() to cpp_raw_input().  But if  you need to be able to run 
arbitrary scripts, ...

(untried) - Try changing __builtins__.raw_input  to reference your new 
function.
