[vtkusers] reading/writing standard input/output using python

[David Gobbi]

Hi Dominik,

If you "import sys" then you can read from "sys.stdin" and write to 
"sys.stdout" but I'm not sure if that is what you are asking.

If you are wondering if you can call "SetStream(sys.stdin)" from python, 
then the answer is unfortunately no.  The python wrappers do not connect 
python streams to C++ streams.  If you want, you can add this to the 
bugtracker as a desired feature.
