[ example of "interrupting" a file-reading function in order to ask the user if they really want to read a locked file ] I would rewrite that this way (untested, and without error checking): def open_file(file_name, read_if_locked=False): f = file(file_name) [read first line] if first_line == "FILE LOCKED" and read_if_locked == FALSE: return False [read the rest] return True def open_command(): if open_file("foo.bar") == False: [ask the user what to do] if ans == tkMessageBox.YES: open_file("foo.bar", True ) Regards, Dan -- Dan Sommers <http://www.tombstonezero.net/dan/> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
