Summary: for line in sys.stdin: doesn't notice EOF the first time 

Initial Comment:
[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/315888]

for line in sys.stdin: doesn't notice EOF the first time when reading from tty.

The test program:

    import sys
    for line in sys.stdin:
            print line,
    print "eof"

A sample session:

    liw at esme$ python foo.py
    foo         <--- I pressed Enter and then Ctrl-D
    foo         <--- then this appeared, but not more
    eof         <--- this only came when I pressed Ctrl-D a second time
    liw at esme$

Seems to me that there is some buffering issue where Python needs to
read end-of-file twice to notice it on all levels. Once should be 
enough.
