piping binary data isn't a very common thing to do
under windows. maybe you should consider using
an ordinary argument instead, so you can control
how the files are opened?

here's one:

usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | file | -] [arg] ...
Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables):
...
-u     : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr (also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x)
...
