- <p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.12/Lib/fileinput.py">Lib/fileinput.py</a></p>
- <hr class="docutils" />
- <p>This module implements a helper class and functions to quickly write a
- loop over standard input or a list of files. If you just want to read or
- write one file see <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#open" title="open"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">open()</span></code></a>.</p>
- <p>The typical use is:</p>
- <div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">fileinput</span>
- <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">line</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">fileinput</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">input</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">encoding</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"utf-8"</span><span class="p">):</span>
- <span class="n">process</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">line</span><span class="p">)</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <p>This iterates over the lines of all files listed in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.argv[1:]</span></code>, defaulting
- to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin</span></code> if the list is empty. If a filename is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'-'</span></code>, it is also
- replaced by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin</span></code> and the optional arguments <em>mode</em> and <em>openhook</em>
- are ignored. To specify an alternative list of filenames, pass it as the
- first argument to <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.input" title="fileinput.input"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">input()</span></code></a>. A single file name is also allowed.</p>
- <p>All files are opened in text mode by default, but you can override this by
- specifying the <em>mode</em> parameter in the call to <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.input" title="fileinput.input"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">input()</span></code></a> or
- <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.FileInput" title="fileinput.FileInput"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FileInput</span></code></a>. If an I/O error occurs during opening or reading a file,
- <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#OSError" title="OSError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OSError</span></code></a> is raised.</p>
- <div class="versionchanged">
- <p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.3: </span><a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#IOError" title="IOError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">IOError</span></code></a> used to be raised; it is now an alias of <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#OSError" title="OSError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OSError</span></code></a>.</p>
- </div>
- <p>If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin</span></code> is used more than once, the second and further use will return
- no lines, except perhaps for interactive use, or if it has been explicitly reset
- (e.g. using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stdin.seek(0)</span></code>).</p>
- <p>Empty files are opened and immediately closed; the only time their presence in
- the list of filenames is noticeable at all is when the last file opened is
- empty.</p>
- <p>Lines are returned with any newlines intact, which means that the last line in
- a file may not have one.</p>
- <p>You can control how files are opened by providing an opening hook via the
- <em>openhook</em> parameter to <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.input" title="fileinput.input"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fileinput.input()</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.FileInput" title="fileinput.FileInput"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FileInput()</span></code></a>. The
- hook must be a function that takes two arguments, <em>filename</em> and <em>mode</em>, and
- returns an accordingly opened file-like object. If <em>encoding</em> and/or <em>errors</em>
- are specified, they will be passed to the hook as additional keyword arguments.
- This module provides a <a class="reference internal" href="#fileinput.hook_compressed" title="fileinput.hook_compressed"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hook_compressed()</span></code></a> to support compressed files.</p>

- file is moved to a backup file and standard output is directed to the input file
- (if a file of the same name as the backup file already exists, it will be

- <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">backup='.<some</span> <span class="pre">extension>'</span></code>), it specifies the extension for the backup file,
- and the backup file remains around; by default, the extension is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'.bak'</span></code> and
