If you're using UNIX, and you don't actually need the stream to be passed via the hard drive (why would you?), but for some reason want to use the file system, look info UNIX/local sockets. But, really, I'm guessing that local TCP sockets (our old friend 127.0.0.1/8) will work just as well for whatever you're doing (though I may be mistaken), are portable to non-UNIX system, and won't be any slower than UNIX domain sockets on most, if not all, systems. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
