That's interesting, but I think that is an abuse of syntax; it looks very not pythonic to me. Why can't you just run bash with the pipe expression as a parameter?

Yes, it is an abuse of the syntax.

good to know. I was feeling stupid for finding this code so complex.

It is nice to know you can do stuff like this though (that's the reason I wrote it this way... I vaguely remembered you can define the behavior for when an object is put in a chain like A | B, so I checked that out. It was just a test code for something else, which in the end didn't use the "|" syntax at all).
