File read from stdin and printed to temp file are not identicial?

[Jean Luc Truchtersheim]

Hello,

I am trying to read from stdin and dump what's read to a temporary
file. My code works for small files but as soon as I have a file that
has, e.g., more than 300 lines, there is always one and only one line
that is truncated compared to the input.

Here is my code:
#-
#! /usr/bin/env python

import sys
from tempfile import *

if __name__ == __main__:
data = []
f_in = NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=.txt, delete=False)
for line in sys.stdin:
f_in.write(line)
data.append(line)
f_in.close
f = open(f_in.name, 'rb')
i=0
for line in f:
if data[i] != line:
print sys.stderr, line 
%d:\nfile(%d):\%s\\narray(%d):\%s\ %
(i+1, len(line), line, len(data[i]), data[i])
i += 1
sys.exit()
#-

I feel that I must be doing something very stupid, but I don't really
know what.

Any idea?

Can anybody reproduce this behavior.

Thanks a bunch for any help.

Jean Luc.

Dear Fellow python users,

Many thanks for your help.

Those missing brackets were the cause of my problem.

Now my program works as expected.

Many, many heartfelt thanks.
