createNamedPipe in python

Question

hello I have two python files(namedpipe)

a.py

import win32pipe, win32file

p = win32pipe.CreateNamedPipe(r\'\\\\.\\pipe\\test_pipe\         


        

Answer 1

That's just what win32file.ReadFile() returns. It returns a tuple of the result and the read data. You should verify the result is 0 (or anything else applicable) and then read the data.

data = win32file.ReadFile(fileHandle, 4096)
if data[0] == 0:
  print data[1]
else:
  print 'ERROR', data[0]
