Python 3: receive user input including newline characters
-

Question
I'm trying to read in the following text from the command-line in Python 3 (copied verbatim, newlines and all):
lcbeika
rraobmlo
grmfina
ontccep
emrlin
tseiboo
edosrgd
mkoeys
eissaml
knaiefr
Using input
, I can only read in the first word as once it reads the first newline it stops reading.
Is there a way I could read in them all without iteratively calling input
?
No correct solution
OTHER TIPS
You can import sys
and use the methods on sys.stdin
for example:
text = sys.stdin.read()
or:
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
or:
for line in sys.stdin:
# Do something with line.
if you are passing the text into your script as a file , you can use readlines()
eg
data=open("file").readlines()
or you can use fileinput
import fileinput
for line in fileinput.input():
print line
