How can I open two consoles from a single script

I don't know if it suits you, but you can open two Python interpreters using Windows start command:

from subprocess import Popen
p1 = Popen('start c:\python27\python.exe', shell=True)
p2 = Popen('start c:\python27\python.exe', shell=True)

Of course there is problem that now Python runs in interactive mode which is not what u want (you can also pass file as parameter and that file will be executed).

On Linux I would try to make named pipe, pass the name of the file to python.exe and write python commands to that file. 'Maybe' it will work ;)

But I don't have an idea how to create named pipe on Windows. Windows API ... (fill urself).
