Is it possible to read stdin as binary data in Python 2.6? If so, how?
I see in the Python 3.1 documentation that this is fairly simple, but the facilities for doing this in 2.6 don't seem to be there.
If the methods described in 3.1 aren't available, is there a way to close stdin and reopen in in binary mode?
