Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Reopening, since sys.stdin is actually broken in unbuffered mode:
$ ./python -u Python 3.1a0 (py3k:68756, Jan 19 2009, 01:17:26) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.stdin.read(1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/Lib/io.py", line 1739, in read eof = not self._read_chunk() File "/home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/Lib/io.py", line 1565, in _read_chunk input_chunk = self.buffer.read1(self._CHUNK_SIZE) AttributeError: 'FileIO' object has no attribute 'read1' >>> What I propose is that stdin be always opened in buffered mode (even with -u), since I don't see how the behaviour can differ for a read-only non-seekable stream. ---------- resolution: fixed -> stage: commit review -> committed/rejected status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4705> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
