I'm afraid I don't quite know if I'm understanding you or not. I think you mean to say I should look at sys.stdin.fileno(), and if it is 0, then write a prompt, and if not, just read from stdin (possibly blocking, waiting for input). Is that right? But aren't there circumstances where fileno 0 isn't attached to a terminal, and writing a prompt would be inappropriate? -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
