How about a nice 'n shiny context wrapper for the pipe:
import os
class Pipe(object):
def __enter__(self):
self.read, self.write = os.pipe()
return self.read, self.write
def __exit__(self, *args):
try:
os.close(self.read)
finally:
# make sure that write is closed even if
# self.read can't be closed
os.close(self.write)
with Pipe() as (read, write):
print read, write

PS and nit pick:
File descriptor are opaque resource handlers which just happened to be
ints. They should be treated as magic cookies.
