The code below runs indefinitely:

with open(False) as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line)

[tiran]

In open(False) Fale is interpreted as int 0. The function call opens file descriptor 0 (stdin) and waits for incoming data.

Try this code, enter some text and press enter to see what is going on:

with open(False) as f:
    for line in f:
        print('stdin: ', line)
