Then, write OS-dependent Python code. I don't think it's Python's job to pave over OS differences. Java does that by not offering precious system facilities -- very painful. Python is taking steps in that direction, but I hope it won't go too far. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
