An interesting idea! Are there any web servers which work like that at the moment? Passing file descriptors between processes is one of those things I've always meant to have a go with, but the amount of code (in Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment) needed to implement it is rather disconcerting! A python module to do it would be great! -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
