(for the record: I was not suggesting this was how you'd do it but how
you'd be forced to do it in some languages)

Did you mean
c = next(itertools.dropwhile(lambda c: c==' ',
iter(lambda: sys.stdin.read(1), None)))
? I get "AttributeError: 'itertools.dropwhile' object has no attribute
'next'" from your example.
Coming from the lazy language Haskell, I find your example natural
(though the syntax is a little busy for my taste) but would it be
considered Pythonic?
