It depends on how involved your script is. If you're on Unix, you
could maybe use a Unix pipe with the IDL command "spawn". Something
like "spawn, 'python myscript.py'". Look at the external development
guide.

I have never used a Unix pipe myself, so I'm not sure if they can
support "huge amounts of data", or how a Python program can manage
this data coming from the standard input...
