Could we do that? Is there is reason it's not already a namedtuple?

I always forget what the read-end and what the write-end of the pipe is, and I use it quite regularly.

The ordering is the same as for the default process file descriptors. A normal process has stdin as fd 0 and stdout as fd 1. So the return from pipe() has the read end as index 0 and the write end as fd 1. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au>
