I tried using MsgWaitForMultipleObjects, but even with a wake mask of 0xffff Ctrl-C still did not interrupt the call. Maybe it has to do with the way pywin32 implements it. QueueUserAPC is not available in pywin32, but I suppose I can try getting to it via ctypes. - Max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
