It's written. Copy it and use it. There's no re-implementation to do. And if you don't want to _limit_ the number of concurrent connections, then you don't even need those 15 lines, you need four, half of which are imports. I could complain about what a waste of time it is to always have to import things, but that'd be silly. :) Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
