This is a very hard problem to solve in the general case, and the answer depends more on the operating system you're running on than on the programming language you're using. On the other hand, you said that each process will be writing a single line of output at a time. If you call flush() after each message is written, that should be enough to ensure that the each line gets written in a single write system call, which in turn should be good enough to ensure that individual lines of output are not scrambled in the log file. If you want to do better than that, you need to delve into OS-specific things like the flock function in the fcntl module on unix. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
