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

Updated python code for get html source

Yesterday I made little update to my function get_html_source() that gets the content of a page. I did so because I found that my previous function didn't support HTTP POST. Now the code supports both HTTP GET and HTTP POST. It also returns the cookiejar along with the html content of the page. def get_html_source(url, referer = '', data = 0, cj = 0, retry_counter = 0): if retry_counter > 0: print 'Trying Again...' if retry_counter > 3: print 'Could not get source from url:', url return '', '' try: if cj: opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) else: opener = urllib2.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [('Referer', referer), ('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'), ('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/200...
