Question

I am writing to my Python process from the commandline on unix. I want to send EOF (or somehow flush the stdin buffer, so Python can read my input.)

If I hit CTRL-C, I get a KeyboardError.

If I hit CTRL-D, the program just stops.

How do I flush the stdin buffer?

Answer 1

If you use ‘for l in sys.stdin’, it is buffered.

You can use:

  while 1:
     l = sys.stdin.readline()
