I don't see why I would have problems with timeouts. As I mentioned (briefly) I want to use this on a single machine i.e. no communication over the web. Something like htconsole (http://blog.ianbicking.org/introducing-htconsole.html). I could use htconsole and the packages it uses as a starting point, but I would feel that it would be like choosing to use Tkinter for graphics after seeing a single GUI based app. Before I invest some time in this, I'd like to have an idea of what the options are. > -- > John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ > personal page: http://johnbokma.com/ > Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ > Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
