Python Interactive Shell - outputting to stdout?

[Avi Berkovich]

Hey,

I can't make it work, I don't get any data from either stdout nor stderr.
If I send lines and then close the stdin pipe, I may get an exception 
message from several lines up.

I tried manually reading from the stdout pipe, but it just blocks and 
hangs no matter what I send over via the stdin pipe.

This behavior isn't presented by the command line interpreter by any chance.

Any suggestions?
