You could look into other stuff, which would be partially OS specific:

- Named pipe. Works on most Unixes and on Windows NT system. Write to
something that looks "filish" to most programs but ends up into your
program.
- Socket. Pass a (TCP) socket descriptor, with your Python program
listening, instead of a file handle to the other side.
- Memory files. Supported on some systems, a file that resides in memory.

Some of these will require a little C interfacing, but that's easy to figure
out.
