Hi there! I reported this on the GitHub issue tracker for asyncio and I'm transferring here to "rallly support" as Guido said :-)
I noticed there is support for UNIX sockets in asyncio, but there is no documented support for named pipes on Windows. I dug a bit and noticed the required functions are all implemented in asyncio, the only thing that's missing is a pair of functions akin to asyncio.start_unix_server() and asyncio.open_unix_connection() and some documentation. I went on and implemented a simple script that showcases what's available (see this gist <https://gist.github.com/AndreLouisCaron/842178ef3c7adc3c6460f4872ea279cf> for a runnable example that uses UNIX sockets or named pipes depending on what the system supports). I'm willing to put some time into the patch if you're willing to accept it. Any chance you're interested in this? Cheers, André
