fileinput.input() fails on Windows 2K

[Ingo Blank]

Hi,

this tiny script gives a traceback under Windows 2K if/when input is piped
in to stdin, while it runs as expected under Linux.

## MakeDef.py
## Read ouput of DUMPBIN /EXPORTS <file.DLL> and create a .DEF file

from string import *
import fileinput

print "EXPORTS"
hit = 0
for line in fileinput.input():
 words = split(line)
 if hit and len(words) == 4:
  print "\t%s" % words[3]
 hit |= find(line,"RVA") >= 0

----------------

C:>DUMPBIN /EXPORTS libjpeg.dll | MakeDEF.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\MakeDEF.py", line 6, in ?
    for line in fileinput.input():
  File "E:\Python21\lib\fileinput.py", line 181, in __getitem__
    line = self.readline()
  File "E:\Python21\lib\fileinput.py", line 262, in readline
    self._buffer = self._file.readlines(self._bufsize)
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor


-----------------

Am I missing something, or is this a bug in fileinput.py ?
I'm using ActiveState Python 2.1.
