Python Keep Named Pipe Open

Question

In bash, a named pipe can be kept open with cat > mypipe . How can this be done in python? This is what I have so far:

import subprocess
import os

if not os.path.exists("/tmp/mypipe"):
    os.mkfifo("/tmp/mypipe")

Answer 1

import os
import subprocess

path = '/tmp/mypipe'
if not os.path.exists(path):
    os.mkfifo(path)

with open(path, 'w') as f:
    subprocess.call(['cat'], stdout=f)
