Help wanted in piping in Windows

[Apple Grew]

I want to develope a Winboard like application which will support 
Winboard protocol. For that I require to know how to handle piping in 
Python. I seperated out module popen2, but when I use 
fileObject.readline() then it halts the program if the sub-process is 
waiting for user input; will executing the readline() part in a seperate 
thread be helpful? My target platform is Windows.

Links to helpful web resources and sample Python codes will be highly 
appreciated.

Regards,
Apple

Re: Boss wants me to program

I think since speed is not such an issue (I heard that python can make 
faster GUI programs) you should use Visual Basic. It is  very well 
suited for Windows programming. There is the good thing that you can 
visually create the GUI hence it is easier to create the GUI.
