Did you cut and paste that? I would expect the message to be python: can't open file '/mywork/2.py hi'. or similar, i. e. the script name is assumed to be '/mywork/2.py hi'. You have to pass arguments to the 2.py script as separate arguments to os.spawnl() os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT,'/usr/local/bin/python','python','/mywork/2.py', 'hi') Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
