Yeah, I was surprised to see fileinput on the list. It's indeed a handy little tool.

I use fileinput for several times per year.

fileinput is handy tool to write single script file to analyze log files. * In such tools, I don't need real argument parser. * Some log files are compressed and some are not. It seems argparse doesn't support transparent decompression. * I don't want to use 3rd party library for such single script files. I'd like to add transparent decompression to argparse if fileinput is deprecated. Regards, -- Inada Naoki <songofacandy at gmail.com>
