You can do that with subprocess, right? Just have to be sure to close
stdin/stderr and read p.stdout with readline() repeatedly...

I think you might be able to even have the other file descriptors be
inputting/outputting if you use threads, but I'm scared of
experimenting with these things -- experiments don't tell you that it
doesn't work on an OS you don't have.
