Thanks.
I did get that far myself with os.mkfifo - my problem is actually
using it. To me it seemed like I wanted to do something like
streamobj = urllib.urlopen("http://whereever.com/file";)
fifoobj = open("/path/to/named/pipe","w")
fifoobj.write(streamobj.read())
TroublesomeFunction("/path/to/named/pipe")
But as soon as you get to the second line the code hangs (apparently
because of the blocking behaviour of the named pipe).
Any pointers here would be much appreciated.
