I'm actually running something like : r, w, e = popen2.popen3('python - u slave.py') to try and force unbuffered. slave.py is basically outputting by using print. I guess it might still be buffering? Anyway, thanks for your thoughts... I may have to take an entirely difference approach. I was hoping not to have to touch the code base represented by slave.py. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
