Python: How to prompt console input when stdin is occupied?

Question

In an Ubuntu environment, I am hosting a script on a web server and I'm trying to run the script without writing it to a file using the line wget -O - -o /dev/null 0.0.0.0:8000/myscript | python

The script starts off running just fine, until I get to a use of input() where I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 629, in <module>
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

I did a little reading on sys.stdin but I'm not finding a clear solution. What can exactly is happening here and how can I work around it?

Found the solution here: Pipe input to Python program and later get input from user

I added the line sys.stdin = open("/dev/tty") and now it seems to work.
