{
  python -c '
import os
import time
while True:
  time.sleep(1)
  os.lseek(1, 0, 0)

  btlaunchmany.py
} > output-file

Here, python and btlaunchmany.py both inherit the same file descriptor
from a single shell redirection, which means they share the file
position - changing it in one affects the other.
