Using sys.stdin.readline() to read multiple lines from cmd in Python

Question

I\'d like to type in my input from command lines after running

if __name__ == \"__main__\":
    data = list(map(int, sys.stdin.readline().split()))
    print         


        

Answer 1

I agree with everything @Leva7 has said. Nonetheless, I'd suggest another solution, which is to use raw_input for Python 2 or input for Python 3 like so:

args = []
s = raw_input()                # input() for Python 3
while s != '':
    args.extend([int(arg) for arg in s.strip().split()])
    s = raw_input()

Of course, that's not a one-liner in any way, but it does the job and it's easy to see how it's done. Plus, no special characters are required at the end of the input.
