You've missed the most obvious place to look for the feature -- the documentation of sys.stdin :) http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/sys.html#sys.stdin >>> import sys >>> sys.stdin <io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x7f65df915050> >>> sys.stdin.buffer <io.BufferedReader object at 0x7f65df90bdd0> >>> sys.stdin.read(1) '\n' >>> sys.stdin.buffer.read(1) b'\n' Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
