On Unix, you can use Unix Domain Sockets to pass file descriptors between processes. You need to create a Unix Socket, then use sendmsg and recvmsg to pass the file descriptor between processes. Linux Application Development includes an example of how to do this in section 16.4.6. The book is available through Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Application-Development-Michael-Johnson/dp/0321219147 I'm sure you can find other examples on the internet to follow. Hope this points you in the right direction, --Nathan Davis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
