Assume the OP meant to write this
>>> import subprocess, StringIO
>>> inp = StringIO.StringIO("abcdefgh\nabc\n")
>>> p = subprocess.Popen(["cat"], stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stdin = inp)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 534, in __init__
(p2cread, p2cwrite,
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 830, in _get_handles
p2cread = stdin.fileno()
AttributeError: StringIO instance has no attribute 'fileno'
