PIPE is a OS property and Operating System kernel will take care of buffering enough of data so that your consuming python program can read. That's how it operates in Python 2.7 where the input size is effectively managed by OS kernel.
>From 3.x onwards, a buffered reader class is provided by Cpython, wherein you can give an argument to sys.stdin.buffer.read(200000) which would read that many bytes. If you are not using 3.x, perhaps you may not care of about this.
