Indeed, there is: def threaded(): """ do threaded stuff here """ Thread(target=threaded).start() Thread(target=threaded).start() Thread(target=threaded).start() Thread(target=threaded).start() Thread(target=threaded).start() Now threaded() runs five times. Python is not Java where one has to subclass from Thread (AFAIR the dark ages where I used to speak Javanese). Mick, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
