There's socket.socketpair(), but it's only available on Unix.

Windows doesn't have AF_UNIX sockets, and anonymous pipes (like the ones
created by os.pipe()) aren't bidirectional. Named pipes are bidirectional,
but you would need to choose a name, create one, connect, and accept (like
with sockets); there's no convenience function like socketpair(). Also,
you need to consider the security implications, as other processes can
(try to) connect to a named pipe.
