I have 2 python scripts: examples of a producer and a filter, respectively:
#! /usr/bin/env python import sys, time if __name__ == "__main__": while True: sys.stdout.write("hello.\r\n") time.sleep(0.000001) #! /usr/bin/env python import sys if __name__ == "__main__": line = sys.stdin.readline() while line: sys.stdout.write(line.upper()) line = sys.stdin.readline() I wish to use these programs in Bash, like so: $ ./producer.py | ./filter.py However, the producer's time delay makes this not work. If I remove or reduce the delay, it works. In reality the producer has an unavoidable one-second delay. I do NOT want to use popen or its cousins because I want flexibility from the command line; I have many filters. Is there any way to write the filter to make this work? thanks, !!Dean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
