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
tsei         


        

Answer 1

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
