Well, without granting your wish, put a Queue.Queue "in front" of each pipe. The per-pipe thread reads a chunk, waiting if it has to, and then writes to the queue. To read from a pipe w/o waiting from one of these assemblies, you can use the get_nowait method on the associated queue. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
