Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to make context read from stdin 
instead of reading from a file?

     cat /path/to/src.tex | context --result=/path/to/result.pdf

I'd like to do something like this in python:

     def generate_pdf(self):

         src = """
         \starttext
         \section[éléments-de-transmission]{Éléments de transmission}

         Un module dans lequel une communauté temporaire d'étudiants et
         d'enseignants s'exerce à mettre en situation des réflexions et des
         moments de transmission en interrogeant sans cesse la question de
         l'enseignement. La configuration des enseignants est variable selon
         les situations. Les situations seront mises en place en semaine 
A et B
         selon l'emploi du temps. Chaque nouvelle situation invente sa 
méthode.
         \stoptext
         """
         cmd = 'context --result=/tmp/result.pdf'
         p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(" "), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
         (stdout, stderr) = p1.communicate(stdin=src)


Thanks,

Alex
