The advantage is being able to write my own filters and input/output modules and have as small a granularity as needed (while standard UNIX filters such as cat, grep, sed and awk process entire lines at a time.) For example I can launch an interactive shell of some kind and use it both from the terminal I opened it in, and from the network, if my script is listening on a socket. By the way, I am using standard UNIX pipes, that's how popen() works! Toby -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
