How to pipe input to python line by line from linux program?

Question

I want to pipe the output of ps -ef to python line by line.

The script I am using is this (first.py) -

#! /usr/bin/python

import sys         


        

Answer 1

Another approach is to use the input() function (the code is for Python 3).

while True:
        try:
            line = input()
            print('The line is:"%s"' % line)
        except EOFError:
            # no more information
            break

The difference between the answer and the answer got by Dr. Jan-Philip Gehrcke is that now each of the lines is without a newline (\n) at the end.
