8 --- description of full duplex problem 

 Anybody have any thoughts on this? Do I have my story straight? (the
 popen variants can't handle this case and there are no other
 alternatives in the standard python distro) Is there some place I can
 submit this as a feature request? (Python dev?)

I think this is a hassle in the file implementation - I have had it also on 
serial ports, where it acts as if the file driver is inherently half duplex.

It manifests as: My characters don't come out

I don't know if it is python or the underlying stuff.

I use fcntl to unblock and generally mess around to solve it, but
I don't think my solution is portable.

It is a real issue though - you are not imagining the dragon, it is
right at the door...

But don't hold your breath for a volunteer to respond.  Discussion here is 
good until you have a concrete request and support/rationale.
