Running python from ax25d?

Hi all,
I'm having some problems getting Python to work when called from
ax25d. Specifically, stdin does not seem to be passed correctly to the script.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python2 -u

# saved as /home/gordonjcp/test.py
# corresponding line in ax25d.conf is
# default  * * * * * *  - gordonjcp /home/gordonjcp/test.py test.py
import sys
a=""
print "Hello"
while(a.strip()!="stop"):
    a = sys.stdin.readline()
    print "you typed " + a

When I call this from the command-line, or indeed from xinetd it behaves as expected - it starts, prints "Hello", then prints "you typed <whatever you typed>" when you press return. If you type "stop", it stops.

From ax25d, it prints "Hello" but does not respond to any keyboard input. Furthermore, if I close down the connection from call(1) I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/gordonjcp/test.py", line 7, in <module>
a = sys.stdin.readline()
IOError: [Errno 107] Transport endpoint is not connected

The IO error seems to suggest that there is no connection from stdin as handled by ax25d to Python. I'm not sure if this is because stdin goes away when the connection is closed, or because it was never there to begin with.

Any thoughts?

End-of-line problems maybe? On packet radio CR is the de facto EOL character. Python file objects readline() method probably seeks for a LF...

Have you tried eg. sys.stdin.read(1) to see if you get what you wrote back one character at a time?

I'd say it's because the connection was closed. Although ENOTCONN is a somewhat strange error here... hmm.
