eoferror

Reading several questions on this topic I understand now that the child process inherits the file descriptors from the parent process. Which will make it more difficult for a child to receive an EOFError when a parent closes the connection. But my situation is the other way around, and I do not understand the problem I am facing. I have a parent process that starts a child process, and gives it access to one end of the Pipe connection I created. Now when the child process is done, malfunctions or whatever, everything is stopped and the connection is closed. At this point the child process

I wrote the following for a homework assignment and it works fine in IDLE and Eclipse running Python 3. However, I tried to run it from TextMate with the new line 1 -- which I found here -- to point it to Python 3 on the Mac. It seems to be running Python 3 but returns an error. It says: EOFError: EOF when reading a line. It's referring to line 5 below. Anyone know why? BTW, this TextMate issue is not part of the homework assignment, so I'm not trying to get homework help. I just want to figure out how to use TextMate with Python 3. #! /usr/local/bin/python3 # # Tests user string against two

After creating an exe from a script with py2exe raw_input() is causing an EOFError. How can I avoid this? File "test.py", line 143, in main raw_input("\nPress ENTER to continue ") EOFError: EOF when reading a line >>> help(raw_input) Help on built-in function raw_input in module __builtin__: raw_input(...) raw_input([prompt]) -> string Read a string from standard input. The trailing newline is stripped. If the user hits EOF (Unix: Ctl-D, Windows: Ctl-Z+Return), raise EOFError. On Unix, GNU readline is used if enabled. The prompt string, if given, is printed without a trailing newline before

I am trying to get input from the user at the command prompt. The program reads in data from a text file in the manner of "cat text.txt | ./thescript.py" At the point of the script in question, all data has already been read in, processed, and put into a list of lists. Now I am iterating through that list of lists looking for questionable items. The code basically looks like this: for invoice in parsedlist: if invoice[-1] == 3: sys.stderr.write("triple duplicate at " + invoice[2]+' : ' + invoice[3]+"\n") sys.stderr.write("continue Y or N \n") answer = raw_input("Type your answer here") if

I'm using Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way . In exercise 11, the code produces an EOF error on line 2. Here is the code: 1 print "How old are you?", 2 age = raw_input() 3 print "How tall are you?", 4 height = raw_input() 5 print "How much do you weigh?", 6 weight = raw_input() 7 print "So, you're %r old, %r tall and %r heavy." % ( age, height, weight) I have searched StackOverflow, Google, and Hacker News forum. I could not find any answer that (a) solved this problem and (b) I could understand. I am using the python compiler on ideone.com (have also tried two other on-line compilers and
