Also, on Mac OSX at least ordinary file operations seem to work fine. For example, in one Terminal window: $ mkfifo testf $ cat < testf In another Terminal window, start Python and type In [5]: f=open('testf', 'w') In [6]: f.write('foo\n') In [7]: f.flush() In [8]: f.close() The output appears in the first window and the cat command finishes. If do the Python part first, the open() blocks until I issue the cat command.
