That mythical "process" is more robust then "thread" application paradigm again. No wonder there are so many boring software applications around. Granted. Threaded program forces you to think and design your application much more carefully (to avoid race conditions, dead-locks, ...) but there is nothing inherently *non-robust* about threaded applications. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
