So what you really need is to capture the output of a command, in this case LaTeX, so you can copy it back to the client. You can do that with the subprocess module in the Python standard library. If the command generated so much output so fast that you felt the need to avoid the extra copy, I suppose you could fork() then hook stdout directly to socket connected to the client with dup2(), then exec() the command. But no need for that just to capture LaTeX's output. -- --Bryan Olson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
