Summary: PeekNamedPipe returning "Invalid Handle"

Initial Comment:
Using the following program:
import win32api
import win32pipe

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pipe = win32api.GetStdHandle(win32api.STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
    buffer, bytesToRead, result = win32pipe.PeekNamedPipe(pipe, 1)

on a Windows XP Professional machine. Running Python 2.5 and build 210 of the win32all installer yields this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "in.py", line 6, in <module>
    buffer, bytesToRead, result = win32pipe.PeekNamedPipe(pipe, 1)
pywintypes.error: (6, 'PeekNamedPipe', 'The handle is invalid.')

Is this expected? If it is, how would I go about querying the standard input to see if there is any data waiting?
