Okay, looked at the origin of the URL handler code, 06d77cddec34b9dcc554155ae2abb01cbd9d2c92 by @jarun. It was written to specifically deny stdin to the handler, and written in kind of a peculiar way too (could have just used `Popen` with `stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL` without opening a pipe and immediately closing it by piping nothing into it). I'm not sure why deny stdin to the handler; @jarun can you remember or think of any reason?
I think we can enable stdin for the handler if we can't come up with an objection (will give this another thought with a clearer mind tomorrow). Meanwhile, there's a `/dev/tty` trick you can use right now that allows you to exhaust stdin (fd 0), then "reopen" it for interactivity @097115. Try something like this:
```py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import argparse
import contextlib
import re
import socket
import sys
import urllib.parse
import webbrowser
@contextlib.contextmanager
def redirect_stdin(fp):
saved_stdin = sys.stdin
sys.stdin = fp
yield
sys.stdin = saved_stdin
def resolve_domain(url):
try:
netloc = urllib.parse.urlparse(url).netloc
host = re.match(r"^(.*@)?(?P<host>.*?)(:.*)?$", netloc).group("host")
return socket.gethostbyname(host)
except Exception:
return None
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("urls", nargs="+")
args = parser.parse_args()
# Exhaust stdin.
sys.stdin.read()
with open("/dev/tty", "r") as tty:
with redirect_stdin(tty):
for url in args.urls:
ip = resolve_domain(url)
yn = input(f"{url} resolves to {ip if ip else 'unknown'}, open? [yN] ")
if yn.strip().lower().startswith("y"):
webbrowser.open(url)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
