Emulating linux pipes on python 101 (or is it??)
Raw
linux_pipe_python.md

I'm gonna make this quick because time is piping itself away! (bad joke)

So how to make a linux pipe with/under/inside/you_get_it python?

First, let's take into account the context here: is it just as syntax? or as an actual linux pipes? buffering only?

Your context for what you want in your linux pipe emulation need to be defined, but before you do it, let me list a couple of possibility:

If it's just syntax then:

  • AST
  • regex
  • string.replace

If it's just buffering:

  • queue
  • list
  • generator
  • temporary files
  • variable

if it's any other context...then I need more time. Will edit in a bit...
