Description Stuart Langridge 2009-08-28 13:25:51 UTC 
Being able to do

python -c "<generate a load of output here>" | gedit 

to open a document in gedit ready for saving, rather than

python -c "<generate a load of output here>" > randomtmpfile
gedit randomtmpfile

would be very neat indeed.

Indeed... as a matter of fact a dupe of a very old rfe :)

(gedit even supported it for a while even if in a buggy way... reading from sdtin is pretty easy, what's a bit more complicated is to handle it in the case of an already running single instance)
