eeschema netlist plugin: read from stdin, write to stdout does not work

[HolgerT]

An user own python script accepts input via stdin and outputs to stdout by "print"-command. If the script is run in a command-line terminal, e.g.:
MyKiCADplugin.py < Inputfile.xml > outputfile.data
everything works fine. Inputfile.xml is read, processed and output is written to outputfile.data.

If the script is called as a netlist-plugin, e.g:
MyKiCADplugin.py < "%I" > "%O"
the script wrongly gets no input from KiCAD(should get content of file %I) and output is not written to %O.

While I think this would be cool, it hasn't been acted on in nearly 5 years, and hasn't collected any bug heat. Closing as Won't Fix.
