I know that. I wanted to show him a better way than messing around with file descriptors. In Python one doesn't have to (and should not) alter the file descriptor of a standard stream. Python always uses sys.stderr to write to the standard error stream. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
