python sys.stdin.read not working

This is my code

if __name__ == '__main__':

    import sys
    text = sys.stdin.read().decode('ascii', errors='replace')
    print text

When I run it, I enter the text and press enter, but nothing happens and it keeps running forever. What is wrong ?

You should enter the text, press the Enter key, then press Ctrl + Z. It will give the correct result.

  • Flush the standard input with Ctrl+d
  • alternatively use input() or raw_input()
  • check the docs >>> help(sys.stdin.read)
