Bug Description

Running scripts/glipy returns:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "glipy", line 57, in <module>
    style=Default['terminal'])
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\glipy\terminal\terminal.py", line 110, in __init__
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mkfifo'

Unfortunately it seems the mkfifo() is not available under windows. Is it possible to workaround this so us Windows users can play with GliPy?

Cheers,
Ben

I made a temporary fix by removing system wide stderr/stdout redirection under windows. It should change nothing for IPython shell while Python shell may suffer problems with command shell output that won't appear within glipy terminal.

A long term fix would be to be able to redirect properly stderr/stdout.
