Something like:
sys.stdout.flush()
p = subprocess.Popen([os.environ['PAGER']], stdin = subprocess.PIPE)
sys.stdout = p.stdin
...
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
p.stdin.close()
p.wait()
but with error and exception handling.
But personally, I'd write the data to the child process explicitly if
that's possible.
