64 | ||
65 | <P> | |
66 | The <tt class="module">pipes</tt> module defines a class to abstract the concept of | |
67 | a <em>pipeline</em> -- a sequence of convertors from one file to | |
68 | another. | |
69 | ||
70 | <P> | |
71 | Because the module uses <b class="program">/bin/sh</b> command lines, a POSIX or | |
72 | compatible shell for <tt class="function">os.system()</tt> and <tt class="function">os.popen()</tt> | |
73 | is required. | |
74 | ||
75 | <P> | |
76 | The <tt class="module">pipes</tt> module defines the following class: | |
