How to read session key from stdin on Windows deployments?

Hi

Im developing an app that supplies a scripted input to Splunk. When its run (on linux machines), it reads the session key from stdin :

 

 

 session_key = sys.stdin.readlines()[0]

 

 

This does not seem to work for Windows based deployments

Does anyone have an idea of how to do this on windows?
