How do I capture piped text in python. For example something like this

cat foo.py | ./foo.py

in foo.py I have the following:

if __name__ == "__main__":
  text = raw_input()

The problem is raw_input() terminates after the new line. How do I capture the whole thing as a string/list?

    raw_input is just a helper for prompting the user interactively. If you want to read any amount from stdin, use sys.stdin.read().
