Read the blurb at the top of pipes.py ;-)
Seriously, they are placeholders that pipes.py substitues for the
actual file name. I think that the module is very elegant really.
It's allowing me to write:
pnmcrop -left filein.ppm | pnmcrop -right > fileout.ppm
in python. However, if you can write the above using 'conventional'
python, then I'm very interested to learn how.
