I agree but for monitoring... I've had good luck with executing a popen to grab and parse output from ps -Af and pass it your own process ID as the search. It adds overhead to the cpu exec time but it is much less than 1sec so you won't see it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
