On MacOS X, you can use
os.listdir("/dev/fd")
This might work on other OSes.

At least on Linux, Solaris and MacOS X, you shouldd use /dev/stdin,
which is a symlink to whatever the official name is.
"/dev/stdin" is more readable and more portable than the official name.

Testing such things is the best way to learn.
