writing to lpr printer

[Bob van der Poel]

In tcl I can do things like:

	open("|lpr", 'w') 

and tcl will open a pipe to lpr. The open in python doesn't behave this
way...and I was very spoiled with the tcl varient. Is there an easy way
to emulate this, or do I have to parse the filename looking for a
leading '|', etc.?
