I think the canonical answer is to use the threading module or (preferably) the multiprocessing module, which is new in Py2.6. http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html Both share a (mostly) common interface and are simple enough to use. They are pretty close to the above interface already. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
