   Thanks for reporting this.
   
   Is this issue Python 3 specific?
   
   Having said that, one thing we could do is simply ignore "illegal seek" errors in that place, but I'm not sure that's the correct approach. It may mask real issues.

   EDIT: It looks like we indeed don't have a better option (https://bugs.python.org/issue12877) since Python sadly doesn't throw a more specific / better exception in that case (so we can't distinguish if underlying iterator doesn't support seek or it does support it and incorrect seek position is provided).
   
   We could have some specific case for pipes, but that's probably not the most robust approach...
