Description: pipedream module
        
        The pipedream module is intended to simplify communicating over pipes.
        
        W. Michael Petullo of Flyn Computing (http://www.flyn.org) is the
        original author.
        
        Bob Green (http://www.speakeasy.net/~bob_green) is the current maintainer of
        the module.
        
        It was originally included  with W. Michael Petullo's Pylog module.  It is
        now released seperately.  The API remains largely the same as the original.
        
        Changes include:
        
        * Cross-platform support.  For it to work on Windows, the Win32 Extensions
        for Python must be installed, as it relies on win32pipe.  The Unix version
        relies on the original os.fork code.
        
        * Threaded process reads to an input queue allowing timeouts without using
        the unix-specific signal.alarm.  Timeouts are explicitly implemented in the
        PipeDream.ReadLine method.
        
        * Unit tests are included (unix-runnable only, so far)
