you can pass in a buffer size when you open a file: >>> help(open) class file(object) | file(name[, mode[, buffering]]) -> file object | | Open a file. The mode can be 'r', 'w' or 'a' for reading (default), | writing or appending. The file will be created if it doesn't exist | when opened for writing or appending; it will be truncated when | opened for writing. Add a 'b' to the mode for binary files. | Add a '+' to the mode to allow simultaneous reading and writing. | If the buffering argument is given, 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line | buffered, and larger numbers specify the buffer size. | Add a 'U' to mode to open the file for input with universal newline | support. Any line ending in the input file will be seen as a '\n' | in Python. Also, a file so opened gains the attribute 'newlines'; | the value for this attribute is one of None (no newline read yet), | '\r', '\n', '\r\n' or a tuple containing all the newline types seen. | | 'U' cannot be combined with 'w' or '+' mode. | | Note: open() is an alias for file(). or use os.fdopen() to reopen an existing file handle: >>> help(os.fdopen) fdopen(fd [, mode='r' [, bufsize]]) -> file_object Return an open file object connected to a file descriptor. assuming "sending via stdin" means using a pipe, this page explains why all this probably won't matter: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989799/xsh/write.html (see the "Write requests to a pipe or FIFO" section) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
