Redirecting fifo to python's stdin

$ mkfifo mypipe
$ echo "hello redirection" > mypipe

$ cat  mypipe
$ echo "hello redirection" > mypipe

However if I put python in a loop

# pyecho.py
while True:
    with open("/dev/stdin", "r") as f:
        print(f.read())

Then after the initial iteration (requiring two writes), it goes back to working as expected.
