Thanks for the suggestions. Basically, I have the situation where a user (via the web) requests data from a database that has to be written to file. However, this takes a couple of minutes. So the way I thought of doing this is: 1. create an empty file. 2a. tell the user where to look for the file. 2b. spawn a process to insert data into the file. This way the user can see the data as its being written. Thanks Colin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
