Hi!
I'm not sure if I completely get what you want, but what's about this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
filelist = []
with_stdin=0
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
for file in sys.argv[1:]:
if file == "-":
with_stdin=1
continue
filelist.append(file)
else:
with_stdin=1
if with_stdin:
for file in sys.stdin:
filelist.append(file)
for file in filelist:
print "Processing file: %s" % file
It's a bit clumsy, but seems to do what I guess you want.
