stdin, stdout, redmon

[Rolf van de Krol]

I don't know what you did with your Python installation, but for me this 
works perfectly.

test3.py contains:
<code>
import sys

print sys.stdin.readlines()
</code>

test.txt contains:
<code>
Testline1
Testline2
</code>

Output of 'python test3.py < test.txt' is:
<code>
['Testline1\n', 'Testline2']
</code>

Just plain simple and just works.
