Two Pythons talking to each other?

[Hans Nowak]

Hello,

I am currently experimenting with networking and want to write some 
games (where, obviously, two players compete over a network). Now I 
want to test my programs offline. One way would be to start two 
separate Python sessions (on the same machine), both running the same 
game program, and let them somehow talk to each other like they would 
over a network. But, what would be a good way to do this? I was 
thinking about passing strings (commands etc) to a file, but two 
programs cannot read from and write to the same file at the same 
time. Does someone have any ideas about how to do this?

TIA,
