Well, to me threads seem to be more primitive. You have to be careful with shared memory accesses and they don't scale so well if you want to go from single machines to a cluster. Take a look at XML-RPC or Pyro for higher level communication between processes. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
