If you want to have a shared queue, it's much easier and simpler to use threading, as it allows you to share data structures between threads. Python already has a multithreaded queue class -- see http://docs.python.org/lib/module-Queue.html. Just create a global Queue object or pass each thread a reference to it, and they can all share it. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
