The downside to this is that there is a bug in the NT/2K/XP command interpreter which will prevent redirecting from stdin in that case. That is: C:\Tmp>type x.py import sys print sys.stdin.readline() C:\Tmp>echo 123 | python x.py 123 C:\Tmp>echo 123 | x.py The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe. C:\Tmp>python x.py < x.py import sys C:\Tmp>x.py < x.py C:\Tmp> -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
