Programs have "argv" and "argc", plus environment variables, going in. So, going in, there are essentially subroutine parameters. But all that comes back is an exit code. They should have had something similar coming back, with arguments to "exit()" returning the results. Then the "many small intercommunicating programs" concept would have worked much better.
Except that you just broke the simplicity of the pipe mechanism. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
