How to get multiline input from user

Question

I want to write a program that gets multiple line input and work with it line by line  Why there is no function like raw input in Python 3    input does not allow user to put lines separated by newline  Enter   it prints back only the first line   Can it be stored in variable or even read it to a list

input prompt  is basically equivalent to  def input prompt       print prompt  end     file sys stderr      return sys stdin readline     You can read directly from sys stdin if you like    lines   sys stdin readlines    lines    line for line in sys stdin   five lines   list itertools islice sys stdin  5     The first two require that the input end somehow  either by reaching the end of a file or by the user typing Control-D  or Control-Z in Windows  to signal the end  The last one will return after five lines have been read  whether from a file or from the terminal keyboard

raw input can correctly handle the EOF  so we can write a loop  read till we have received an EOF  Ctrl-D  from user   Python 3  print  Enter Paste your content  Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Z   windows   to save it    contents      while True      try          line   input       except EOFError          break     contents append line    Python 2  print  Enter Paste your content  Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Z   windows   to save it   contents      while True      try          line   raw input         except EOFError          break     contents append line

In Python 3 x the raw input   of Python 2 x has been replaced by input   function  However in both the cases you cannot input multi-line strings  for that purpose you would need to get input from the user line by line and then  join   them using  n  or you can also take various lines and concatenate them using   operator separated by  n  To get multi-line input from the user you can go like   no of lines   5 lines      for i in xrange no of lines       lines  input     n   print lines    Or  lines      while True      line   input       if line          lines append line      else          break text     n  join lines
