I think this is possible with an expect module, such as http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/. <quote> Description: Python module for automating interactive applications Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications; controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output. Pexpect works like Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script to spawn a child application and control it as if a human were typing commands. </quote> -- TeCh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
