Hi,

Please look at the bug:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1633941&group_id=5470&atid=105470

As I commented there, I don't think any fix is needed but it appears to me that mentioning this case in docs wouldn't hurt. Something like this can be added to next() description at:

http://docs.python.org/lib/bltin-file-objects.html

"Please consider buffering issues while using ``for line in sys.stdin`` when the input is being interactively entered".
