How do I iterate over all lines of files passed on the command line?

I usually do this in Perl:

whatever.pl

while(<>) {
    #do whatever;
}

then cat foo.txt | whatever.pl

Now, I want to do this in Python. I tried sys.stdin but I have no idea how to do as I have done in Perl. How can I read the input?

python stdin

import sys

for line in sys.stdin:
    # do stuff w/line
