How to read multiple lines of raw input?

Question

I want to create a Python program which takes in multiple lines of user input. For example:

This is a multilined input. It has multiple sentences. Each sentence is on a newline. 

How can I take in multiple lines of raw input?

Answer 1

sentinel = '' # ends when this string is seen for line in iter(input, sentinel):     pass # do things here 

To get every line as a string you can do:

'\n'.join(iter(input, sentinel)) 

---

Python 2:

'\n'.join(iter(raw_input, sentinel))
