Probably the proper solution would use pipes instead of sockets.

I agree that using pipes (or even socketpair() sockets) would be cleaner than 
the current solution, but would that work on Windows? The current solution has 
the advantage of working on Linux, Windows and OSX without having separate 
implementations for some of the platforms.

I presume that subprocess.Popen.communicate 'works' on Windows, as the docs say nothing otherwise. But I do not know if there are (still) latency issues.
