The Python `EOFError` exception.

In Python, an EOFError is raised in, among other situations:

  1. when one of the built-in functions input() or raw_input() (Python 2.x only) hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data
  2. when the pickle module encounters an EOF in its input.

A contrived example would be running the input() function and pressing Ctrl+D (the EOF character) in IDLE, which raises an error similar to:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#23>", line 1, in <module>
    input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

What is an EOFError in Ruby file I/O?

The official documentation doesn't specify. I understand EOFError means "End of file error", but what exactly does that mean? If a file reader reaches the end of a file, that doesn't sound like an error to me.
