Cool Python Idiom
This is a handy thing if you are playing with big stuff in the python repl.
import os
less = os.popen('less', 'w')
less.write( ... bunch of data written out here ...)
less.close()
The great thing is also that you can pass less anywhere that you have a filehandle that you're writing to.
Beaujolais!
What would be really great is if you could make a file object that would invoke less if you have more than $LINES of output in a go. Then you could do:
sys.stdout = less_stdout()
or somesuch.
That would be totally bitchin.
