read from stdin python in python

To read input from the console (stdin), you can use the input() function in Python 3.x or raw_input() function in Python 2.x. These functions read input as a string until a newline character is encountered.

Here's an example code block to read input from console:

main.py
input_str = input("Enter your input: ")
print("Your input is:", input_str)
75 chars
3 lines

Alternatively, you can use sys.stdin.readline() to read input from the console in a Python script:

main.py
import sys

input_str = sys.stdin.readline().rstrip('\n')
print("Your input is:", input_str)
93 chars
5 lines

In this example code, rstrip('\n') is used to remove the newline character at the end of the input string, as readline() includes the newline character in the returned string.
