If you have been using HackerRank and encountered problems that accepts an indefinite amount of input from STDIN like this:

1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0

and wodered how to get all that in a single list for later processing, here's a code snippet:

""" your code goes here """

def main():
    data = []

    while True:
        try:
            line = input()
        except EOFError:
            break
        data.append(line)

    """ your code goes here """
    print(data)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

From my observation, it seems the input is coming from a file and its being streamed to STDIN one line at a time.
