Hi Jean-Paul, I tried it. But stdin is not merged in with stdout. Maybe I'm using script wrongly? This is what I've done. I have a python script y. Here's what it looks like when I run it and I entered "sss": $ ./y gimme x:sss you entered sss Now I'm going to use the script command. I'm using an input file input.txt that contains just the string "hello". $ script -c "./y < input.txt" output.txt Script started, file is output.txt gimme x:you entered hello Script done, file is output.txt And when I view output.txt this is what I see: $ less output.txt Script started on Thu Feb 4 22:28:12 2010 gimme x:you entered hello Script done on Thu Feb 4 22:28:13 2010 As you can see the stdin is not printed. What I'd really wanted was something like this in output.txt: gimme x:hello you entered hello -jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
