Pass a file list from PowerShell to Python script via stdin
Question: I'd like to create a Python script that I can pipe file names into, so it can
be used like this:

    
    
    ls *.csv | python .\myscript.py
    

I know I can read the standard input using `fileinput` or `sys.stdin`, but
since the output is in a formatted table:

    
    
        Directory: C:\path\to\csv
    
    
    Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
    ----                -------------         ------ ----
    -a----       15.02.2016     10:18           4755 data_1.csv
    -a----       15.02.2016     10:18            522 data_2.csv
    

I'd have to parse it.

Since this seems to be a common pattern, I expect there's a standard solution.
I'd like to avoid writing my own if I can, but I haven't been able to find
any.

(In case it's important, I'm running it in PowerShell on Windows 10.)

**Edit:** I'm asking whether there's some library or pattern I'm missing, for
this specific (and seemingly quite common) scenario of piping file paths to a
script. I'd like to avoid writing parsing code if it isn't necessary.


Answer: Based on googling and your kind comments, it seems it would be best to just do
the filtering _before_ passing it to the actual Python script. I'll stick with
that, then.
