I want to do something like:
for line in sys.stdin:
do_something()
if is **END OF StdIn**:
do_something_special()
After a few tries, for now I am doing this:
while True:
try:
line = sys.stdin.next()
print line,
except StopIteration:
print 'EOF!'
break
Or with this:
while True:
line = sys.stdin.readline()
if not line:
print 'EOF!'
break
print line,
I think both above ways are very similar. I want to know is there a more elegant (pythonic) way to do this?
I first tried to catch the StopIteration
from inside or outside of a for
loop, but I soon realize that since the StopIteration
exception is build into for
loop itself, both following code snippet didn't work.
try:
for line in sys.stdin:
print line,
except StopIteration:
print 'EOF'
or
for line in sys.stdin:
try:
print line,
except StopIteration:
print 'EOF'
for line in sys.stdin:
do_whatever()
# End of stream!
do_whatever_else()
It's that simple.
