First off, I'm a complete noob looking at the python source code for the first
time so forgive me if I've done something wrong.
What if the length of the chunk is checked as well? The following code works
fine:
import sys
while True:
chunk = sys.stdin.read(1000)
if not chunk:
break
# process
if len(chunk) < 1000:
break
Something similar could be done in the fileinput class. The patch I've attached
checks if the number of bytes read from the file is less than the size of the
buffer (which means that the file has ended). If so, the next time the file is
to be read it skips to the next file instead.
