Thanks in > advance. I have a few lines of code that runs a debug-server in its own thread, listening on a socket, and exec-ing text that is sent to the socket. The exec happens in the debug-server thread. It's very useful - you can get a backtrace for all threads (on python-2.5 and later), look at globals, call functions, etc etc, all while the main programme is running. If anyone's interested, i'll put the code somewhere. It's all very simple; some would say crude, too. - Jules -- http://op59.net/ http://undo-software.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
