You ought to be able to do this easily by wrapping a bz2 compressor around the socket (maybe using socket.makefile() to return a file object first) and probably using a generator as well: http://effbot.org/librarybook/bz2.htm includes relevant examples (not specifically with sockets though). Googling for "python incremental compression" ought to turn up any other alternatives. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
