Hi,
Are there any way to change the EOL character for
sys.stdin.readline() and raw_input()?
My problem is that i cannot rely on that the clients connection to my
application will end all lines with \n or \r\n. Sometimes they will
use \r\000 as EOL.
Example from my code:
sys.stdout.write('Password: ');
#IAC DO ECHO sys.stdout.write('\xFF\xFB\x01')
password = raw_input()
If the client sends 'qwerty\r\n' everything is fine and the password
get stored in the variable. But sometimes, depending on how broken
the telnet client are, the client will send 'qwerty\r\000' instead
and then my application will hang at 'password = raw_input()' forever.
Can you put that in a separate thread with timeout?
I guess i could - wouldn't know how thou, just getting started in python.
Is there any way i can read stdin character by character? In C i would
loop over 'ch = getch();' and in each iteration push the character to
the password variable unless ch equals to \r.
Anyway to do something like this in python?
