Hi. That's probably what I'll end up doing. The only drawback to that is that it solves the problem for me only. Perhaps I will open source the scripts and write up some documentation so that other folks in a similar situation don't have to reinvent the wheel. The only unfortunate aspect to that is that blind newbies to the language will have to figure out setting up a shell script or batch file to pipe the output of the filter into Python on top of learning the language. I admit, it's probably not that much work, but it is one more stumblingblock that blind newcomers will have to overcome. Aaron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
