Cheers mate I had a look into twisted but was put off by the FAQ stating 1.0+ modules may or may not be stable, and only the 'core' is. I don't wanna be messing around with a potentially buggy server, so im gonna roll my own using the sockets module. Thanks for your help ! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
