[Zope] stdin.read() in Python script

[Andy McKay]

Oop sorry, just noticed you said Python Script in that case the equivalent
is:

# 'data' is the key of the posted data we want
data = context.REQUEST.get('data', None)
if data is not None:
    do something

Having a method that just prints out the REQUEST variables is always useful
for debugging anyway ;)
