How to redirect a file of data as input and and typing EOF Character (Ctrl+Z - Windows) in Spyder

[Milton Eduardo Peña Aza]

Dear All, 

Good day! My name is Milton an would like to kindly ask the following questions:

1) Would like to input a file of data as input to a test python script wrote in Spyder. However, I do not know how to do it inside Spyder. 

Have managed to do it when running the script in Windows Console (MS-DOS Prompt) by using the command line:

C:\Users\milton> python C:\Users\milton\Desktop\uno.py < C:\Users\milton\Desktop\integers.dat

2) For the same test script, users have the possibility to interactively insert data and, then, terminate the manual input by typing the EOF Character (Ctrl+Z - Windows), 

Again, this can be achieved in Windows Console

C:\Users\milton> python C:\Users\milton\Desktop\uno.py
Type integers, each followed by Enter; or CTRL + D or CTRL + Z to finish
1
2
3
^Z
count= 3 total= 6 mean= 2.0

Would be very grateful if the group could please provide with some insights on how to do it

Sincerely,

Milton

Dear All, 

There is a workaround to input the file data, it is by opening\selecting  and reading the file and looping over it as 

file = input ('Enter file name:')
linelist = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in open(file)]
   
print(linelist)
total = 0
count = 0
for line in linelist:
    number = int(line)
    print(number)
    total += number
    count += 1

So far, so good, thus, my question is it is possible to redirect a file of data as input in a similar way as Windows Console does?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Milton
