There's socket.socketpair(), but it's only available on Unix. Windows doesn't have AF_UNIX sockets, and anonymous pipes (like the ones created by os.pipe()) aren't bidirectional. Named pipes are bidirectional, but you would need to choose a name, create one, connect, and accept (like with sockets); there's no convenience function like socketpair(). Also, you need to consider the security implications, as other processes can (try to) connect to a named pipe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
