You may be interrested in the module 'asyncproc', which I wrote a couple of years ago to make it easier working with processes that would otherwise block on output. You can download it at <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~bellman/download/asyncproc.py>. It probably only works on Unix, but considering your use of "cat" as a test program, I suppose that isn't a problem for you. -- Thomas Bellman, Lysator Computer Club, Linköping University, Sweden "God is real, but Jesus is an integer." ! bellman @ lysator.liu.se !
