	They are called pipes in Windows too... IF you mean the chaining of one
process's stdout to another process's stdin -- and this feature is handled
by the OS, not Python.

-=-=-=-=- generator.py
import random
import sys

for i in xrange(100):   #yes, it's Python 2.7!
    sys.stdout.write("%s\n" %
                     (random.randint(1, 6)
                     + random.randint(1, 6)) )

import sys

while True:
    ln = sys.stdin.readline()
    if not ln: break
    v = int(ln.strip())
    if v == 2:
        v = "snake-eyes"
    elif v == 12:
        v = "boxcars"
    print "You rolled %s" % v
