Hi Bryan Thank you so much for your advice. You're right, I just made a test with a 10 MB input stream, and it hangs exactly like you said (on cat.stdin.write(myStdin))... I don't want to use disk files. In reality, this script was previously done in bash using disk files, but I had problems with that solution (the files wasn't always cleared, and sometimes, I've found a part of previous input at the end of the next input.) That's why I want to use python, just to not use disk files. Could you give me more information / examples about the two solutions you've proposed (thread or asynchronous I/O) ? Thank you !
