How to read multiple lines of raw input?

python input user-input

sentinel = '' # ends when this string is seenfor line in iter(raw_input, sentinel):    pass # do things here

To get every line as a string you can do:

'\n'.join(iter(raw_input, sentinel))

Python 3:

'\n'.join(iter(input, sentinel))

python input user-input

Alternatively, you can try sys.stdin.read() that returns the whole input until EOF:

import syss = sys.stdin.read()print(s)

python input user-input

Keep reading lines until the user enters an empty line (or change stopword to something else)

text = ""stopword = ""while True:    line = raw_input()    if line.strip() == stopword:        break    text += "%s\n" % lineprint text
