sys.stdin.read（）之后的Python raw_input抛出EOFError

Question

a similar question has been asked before , but the answers suggested a workaround which is not applicable to my situation.

An email message is piped from mutt to a script, and is read from STDIN:

message = sys.stdin.read()
# message is parsed and URLs are printed as a list to choose from...
selected_index = raw_input('Which URL to open?')

I understand that raw_input() will get the EOF left by read(), but is there a way to 'reset' STDIN?

Answer 1

Have you tried this:

message = sys.stdin.read()
sys.stdin = open('/dev/tty')
selected_index = raw_input('Which URL to open?')

This works on Linux; maybe it will work for OSX too.

Answer 2

Try to reset STDIN using sys.stdin.seek(0)
