Hi - am writing a script to send myself email messages from the command line ... I want to have the option be able to input the message body via a pipe so I can easily shoot emails to myself (like from: ls, cat, df, du, mount, etc) ... what i want to be able to do is:
$ ls -la | myscript.py and in the script use something like this (just an example to keep it short): cli_input = sys.stdin.read() if cli_input: print "I piped this in:", cli_input else: print "nothing got piped in, moving on." This works when I do have something coming via stdin ... but if I run the script without piping something first ... it just sits there (I assume, waiting for some stdin) ... How do I tell it: if there is no stdin, just move on? Thanks, Damon _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
