If I'm interpreting your needs correctly, then you may find this module helpful: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/440554/ I've used it successfully in the past when I wanted to use native python code (no C extensions necessary) for asynchronous reading from a child process. I'm not sure if later versions of Python (2.6, 3.0) support this in the standard library. I haven't researched it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
