The pipes returned by the win32pipe.popen calls are standard file-like objects,
rather than win32 Named Pipes. The only way I know of to get an actual Named
Pipe is with CreateNamedPipe.

The folks on the win32 SIG might be able to help you out with more specifics
about the uses of named pipes.

Cheers,
Nick.
