[New-bugs-announce] [issue24536] os.pipe() should return a structsequence (or namedtuple.)

[Jonathan Slenders]

New submission from Jonathan Slenders:

As discussed on python-ideas, os.pipe should return a structsequence instead of a plain tuple.

To be decided is the naming for the read and write end.
Personally, I'm in favour of using readfd/writefd.

> our_pipe = pipe()
> os.write(our_pipe.writefd, b'data')
> os.read(our_pipe.readfd, 1024)
