How do I check if stdin has some data?

by

On Unix systems you can do the following:

import sys
import select

if select.select([sys.stdin, ], [], [], 0.0)[0]:
    print("Have data!")
else:
    print("No data")

On Windows the select module may only be used with sockets though so you’d need to use an alternative mechanism.
