If you want to get input you had to read directly from the console (tty) and NOT from stdin. Stdin has already been consumed. It is possible in python to get the tty related to your console window and read from it. Unfortunately I don't kno whte commands by heart and I don't have time now to look it up. Perhaps somebody else can point you in the right direction. If not I'll it up till tomorrow. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
