reading from pipe

[Richard Lamboj]

Hello,

is there any solution to catch if a pipe has closed? Maybe the signal modul?

For Simulation:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys

while True:
line = sys.stdin.readline()

sys.stdout.write(line)
sys.stdout.flush()

time cat /tmp/proxy.test | test.py

Solution:
if line == "":
break

Kind Regards,

Richi

Since sys.stdin is a file object, you can use sys.stdin.closed to check
if it has been closed.
