Can you confirm that your script works with Win XP and Python 2.5 ?
How are you invoking the script under WinXP? If you're using the standard file associations then stdin/stdout won't work correctly. However, they produce a specific error message: <dump> C:\temp>type test3.py import sys print sys.stdin.readlines () C:\temp> C:\temp>type test3.py | test3.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\temp\test3.py", line 3, in <module> print sys.stdin.readlines () IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor C:\temp>type test3.py | python test3.py ['import sys\n', '\n', 'print sys.stdin.readlines ()'] </dump> TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
