Windows上Python读取stdin出错

Windows上Python读取stdin出错

（金庆的专栏）

一段简单的代码，读取stdin, 替换输出到stdout:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
input_file = sys.stdin
output_file = sys.stdout
for s in input_file:
    output_file.write(s.replace("abc", "def"))

代码改自CookBook的    
Recipe 2.3. Searching and Replacing Text in a File

在Linux上运行正常：
$ cat input.txt | ./replace.py
 
但是在Windows的Dos窗口运行会报错：
> type input.txt | replace.py
Traceback...
    for s in input_file:
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

如果用python调用就正常：
> type input.txt | python replace.py

原因是cmd.exe通过后缀关联运行py文件存在问题。

It seems that stdin/stdout redirect does not work when starting from a file association. This is not specific to python, but a problem caused by win32 cmd.exe.
