hi, I could not understand why python stdin and stdout are not explained in any of the tutorials on the net,
I want to read some input continuously from keyboard and then I would like to process these input. I have a code like this but getting errors, I would like to terminate when there is an empty string in the input, why is not this easy as the "cin" or "scanf". I had to search for even this easy operation. Is there a way to send EOF signal to terminate input(ctrl+??????) #!/usr/bin/env python import sys, math # load system and math module x=[] y=[] IN=True print 'input x and y values : ' while IN: xt,yt=input() if (xt==' ' or yt==' '): print 'you have not entered x or y, quiting' break else: xt= float(xt);yt=float(yt) x.append(xt);y.append(yt) for i in range(x): print x[i] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
