[chuck-users] dumb python question...

[Andrew Turley]

The script in examples/io/read-line.ck will do this. Just make sure to
create and open the named pipe before launching the script. I do
something like this (where shell1 and shell2 are different shells):

shell1$ mkfifo example.txt
shell1$ cat > example.txt

shell2$ chuck read-line.ck

Now just type lines in shell1 and they'll show up in shell2. Once you
type control-C in shell1 you'll kill the writing process and
read-line.ck will stop running.
