If I understand correctly that you want something done in python and then wish to finish python and give control to an other program. I would use an external script that would first launch the python program and then the other program. If for some reason this is a less attractive option, you can use the os.exec family. That terminates the python program will starting up an other program. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
