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

83An abstraction of a pipeline.
