If you can refactor openFileAndProcessContents() so it looks like this: def openFileAndProcessContents(filename): data = open(filename).read() processContents(data) then you can write your tests against processContents() and just pass it a string with the test data. I usually have a set of test files as part of my project that I can pass to functions like this. Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
