pipeline between 2 programs

[Skaperen]

well, at least it works. and is not delayed by trying to buffer everything in python. and i like simpler. and it seems obvious how to chain many commands into a long pipeline without shlex.split. i'd just use a list of commands or for a quickie function, commands as a variable list of arguments.

edit:

i do worry that there may be some holdups at the chain of .wait() method calls but that should be a minimal issue in most cases.
