| JohnQ | Perfectly acceptable gramar. |
| ivazquez | As degenerate as it is, it does work. |
| TFKyle | it's not very legible though, for sane grammar you're supposed to opt out of ambiguous grammar |
| JohnQ | Says who? |
| TFKyle | says my teachers when I was in school, and most likely everyone else apart from politicians maybe :) |
| ivazquez | It takes time to arrange it, but in the end there's only one way it can be read properly. |
| TFKyle | true |
| JohnQ | Not true... if you dont pause in the right places while speaking, you can switch the prhrases which belong to bob and john. |
| TFKyle | if you find yourself writing sentences like that you should try reforming it though, imo |
| JohnQ | Anyway. thats my contribution for the day. |
| ivazquez | If you find yourself writing sentences like that you should find a better hobby. |

| idiocrash | Let's say I want to create a series of command line python tools and I want to be able to pipe the text output from one command to another. What's a good way to send huge blocks of text into a python program? |
| peaker | idiocrash: cat huge_text | python blah.py ? |
| TFKyle | a pipe is probably one of the fastest ways I imagine |
| idiocrash | well, yeah. but how would I get that output into a variable in the blah.py? |
| TFKyle | sys.stdin.read()? |
| idiocrash | that's it? ok durr... thanks |
| TFKyle | well, to get the data that was piped in |
| peaker | if its line-based: for line in sys.stdin: ... |
| idiocrash | right, that's what I want |
