This is actually needing the nesting concern that I raised. Compare: someprog.py uname " ' " && sudo cat /etc/sudoers But frankly, you have much MUCH bigger problems than quote characters. Why not set up sudo to not require a password, rather than fiddling with this? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
