["Scott Nottingham (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1286?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14056277#comment-14056277 ] 

Scott Nottingham commented on AVRO-1286:
----------------------------------------

What you are trying to do can be easily accomplished as follows:
import cStringIO
file_like_obj = cStringIO.StringIO()
file_like_obj.write(sys.stdin.read())
file_like_obj.seek(0)

now you can pass this file_like_obj into avro's read method.

> Currently, you have to specify a target file on the command line.  But it would be nice to be able to stream data through avro cat.
