On *nix, you can use os.fork(). According to http://effbot.org/librarybook/os.htm , you can use os.spawn to accomplish a similar effect on Windows, although I haven't used it. Also, you might check the subprocess module -- http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html . -dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
