[New-bugs-announce] [issue15068] fileinput requires two EOF when reading stdin

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

I found that fileinput.input() requires two EOF characters to stop reading input on Python 2.7.3 on Windows and Ubuntu:

PS C:\Users\jaraco> python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
>>> import fileinput
>>> lines = list(fileinput.input())
foo
bar
^Z
^Z
>>> lines
['foo\n', 'bar\n']

I don't see anything in the documentation that suggests that two EOF characters would be required, and I can't think of any reason why that should be the case.
