Ok, so what if I remove the while loop from the Botling class, and include it in the __main__ ? Might this work as a solution then? if __name__ == '__main__': bert1 = Botling("^berty^", "#exciting", "irc.interesting.org") bert2=Botling("^berty^", "#interesing", "irc.exciting.org") bert1.connectBot() bert2.connectBot() while 1: bert1.receiveData() bert2.receiveData() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
