Are 'mmz', 'pass1', and 'localhost' the actual values you want for username, password, and hostname? If so, don't pass them through config.get() at all - just use them directly. In fact, I'd be inclined to just stuff them straight into the Database_list_command literal; that way, it's clear how they're used, and the fact that you aren't escaping them in any way isn't going to be a problem (tip: an apostrophe in your password would currently break your script). It's also worth noting that the ~/ notation is a shell feature. You may or may not be able to use it in config.read(). ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
