How to page output in >>> ?

[kj]

How does one tell the python interactive interpreter to run the
next output to stdout through the default pager? Basically, I'm
looking for Python's equivalent of Perl's debugger's "|" prefix,
as in

DB<1> |print $long_output

TIA!

Something like:

sys.stdout.flush()
p = subprocess.Popen([os.environ['PAGER']], stdin = subprocess.PIPE)
sys.stdout = p.stdin

...

sys.stdout.flush()
sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
p.stdin.close()
p.wait()

but with error and exception handling.

But personally, I'd write the data to the child process explicitly if
that's possible.
