Whenever there's a problem, create simplicity. I would recommend not using the file-from-socket method, and simply using pickle.dumps() and pickle.loads() to pickle to/from strings; those strings can then be sent/received over the socket using standard recv/send functions. Also, Chris Rebert's idea is a good one, and worth trying. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
