  "input": "A python3 script that can accept input either via stdin, a
file, or commandline arguments, and simply logs the content of this
input to a file with metadata such as current date:"
}	You can use the following Python script to accept input from stdin,
a file, or command-line arguments and log the content with metadata
such as the current date:

```python
import sys
import argparse
from datetime import datetime

def log_input(input_data, log_file):
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    with open(log_file, "a") as f:
        f.write(f"{current_time}: {input_data}\n")

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Log input data with metadata")
    parser.add_argument("-f", "--file", help="Input file to read data from")
    parser.add_argument("-o", "--output", default="log.txt",
help="Output log file")
    parser.add_argument("input_data", nargs="*", help="Input data as
command-line arguments")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.file:
        with open(args.file, "r") as f:
            input_data = f.read()
            log_input(input_data, args.output)
    elif args.input_data:
        input_data = " ".join(args.input_data)
        log_input(input_data, args.output)
    else:
        input_data = sys.stdin.read()
        log_input(input_data, args.output)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

To use the script, save it as `log_input.py` and run it with the
desired input method:

- To log input from stdin, run `python3 log_input.py` and type your
input, then press Ctrl+D to end the input.
- To log input from a file, run `python3 log_input.py -f input.txt`.
- To log input from command-line arguments, run `python3 log_input.py
arg1 arg2 arg3`.

By default, the script logs the input to a file named `log.txt`. You
can change the output file by using the `-o` or `--output` option,
followed by the desired output file name. For example, `python3
log_input.py -o my_log.txt arg1 arg2 arg3`.	39179 ms
