I have done something similar. The idea was that threads had to open a queue before they could access it. If the last thread who had the queue open in write mode, closed the queue, a reader trying to get an element from an empty queue would have an "EOInformation" exception raised. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
