Guido van Rossum 4795524101 Speed it up by using readlines(sizehint). It's still slower than
other ways of reading input. :-(

In the process, I added an optional bufsize argument to the input()
function and the FileInput class.

Guido van Rossum 2516b39dd3 Implement suggestion from Lawrence Kesteloot in PR#280, to change the
default list of files from () to None, and explicitly test for None
before defaulting to sys.argv[1:].  This means that if you pass in an
explicit empty list, it will read stdin instead of defaulting to
sys.argv[1:].  This fixes a buglet in the test script (when called
with options but without files, it chokes when it tries to interpret
the options as files).

Lawrence adds: "I suspect that this is a safe change, because I can't
imagine someone actively passing in an empty list when they want
sys.argv used."

I agree.

Guido van Rossum dcb8583c18 Fix for PR#111: when using the inplace option, give the new file the
same permissions as the old file, plugging a security hole.
(Not using exactly the suggested bugfix.)

Guido van Rossum 45e2fbc2e7 Mass check-in after untabifying all files that need it. 1998-03-26 21:13:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7d5b99d8bf A new standard module, as discussed on comp.lang.python, to simplify
the writing of filters.

Typical use is:

    import fileinput
    for line in fileinput.input():
        process(line)

This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:],
defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is
'-'.

There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the
input files.
