The nearest I can think of has nothing to do with Python, but all to do with the applications concerned: DDE. Back in the early 90s it was a much-touted technology on OS/2 - you could fire up Mesa (spreadsheet), hotlink a particular group of cells to a table in DeScribe, edit one and see the other change instantly. It was pretty cool for its day. How you'd go about implementing it today I don't know, but there's a few options available. Really depends on what the OP actually wants to achieve: Duplicate typing, shared text, simultaneous editing? ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
