fast way to get input from stdin - Python

I am looking for faster way for taking input from stdin in Python. So far I found three methods. input() - which is suitable for integers, raw_input() - reads the input as string and another one is sys.stdin.readline(). So far I have found sys.stdin.readline() is the fastest. Do you have any idea to read input (from console) in Python which is faster?

Another way to take console input:
import sys

for line in sys.stdin:
# do whatever you want with line

Note that there is an extra newline character ("\n") after end of each line.

The first line contains the number of test cases T. T lines follow, one corresponding to each test case, containing 3 integers : N, A and D.

SAMPLE INPUT

3
1 1 1
3 5 6
2 1 2


how to take this input??

t = int(raw_input())

while t:
t = t - 1
s = raw_input()
n, a, d = s.split()
n = int(n)
a = int(a)
d = int (d)

All the lines after while loop are inside while loop. Can't find any way to format it.

combining these lines in one:


n, a, d = [int(x) for x in raw_input().split()]

leading dots can be used to keep correct format.



while t:
....t = t - 1
....s = raw_input()
....n, a, d = s.split()

for T in range(input()):
N, A, D = map(int, raw_input().split())

Strip HTML tags using Python

We often need to strip HTML tags from string (or HTML source). I usually do it using a simple regular expression in Python. Here is my function to strip HTML tags: def remove_html_tags(data): p = re.compile(r'<.*?>') return p.sub('', data) Here is another function to remove more than one consecutive white spaces: def remove_extra_spaces(data): p = re.compile(r'\s+') return p.sub(' ', data) Note that re module needs to be imported in order to use regular expression. Here you can find an updated code that gets the text from html: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2011/04/html-to-text-in-python.html

lambda magic to find prime numbers

Find prime number up to 100 with just 3 lines of code. The 4th line is for printing ;) nums = range(2, 100) for i in range(2, 10):     nums = filter(lambda x: x == i or x % i, nums) print nums Isn't it amazing? Check my new post about Prime number: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2010/11/prime-number-generator-in-python-using.html

Convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text - Python code

Python has a very simple way to convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text. To find the ASCII value of a character use the ord() function. Example: >>> ord('B') 66 To get a character from it's ASCII value use the chr() function. Example: >>> chr(65) 'A' Here is a program to get the list of all characters along with their values: # program to print the list of characters and their ASCII values for value in range(0, 255): print "ASCII Value:", value, "\t", "Character:", chr(value), "\n" Here is another simple ASCII encoding-decoding program: # Convertion from text to ASCII codes message = raw_input("Enter message to encode: ") print "Decoded string (in ASCII):" for ch in message: print ord(ch), print "\n\n" # Convertion from ASCII codes to text message = raw_input("Enter ASCII codes: ") decodedMessage = "" for item in message.split(): decodedMessage += chr
