Thanks, I used the popen function which did some of what I want. Here is the code I used: from subprocess import * output = Popen(["gpg", "--output", "--verify", "sigtest"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0] That worked, sort of - it did the verification at least and I can see the return code. What is still not working is the display from gpg. It shows up on the monitor screen like this: gpg: Signature made Tue 04 Jul 2006 08:04:10 AM CET using DSA key ID 06B09BA4 gpg: Good signature from "Boz Scraggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" I need to get that into a file so I can parse it. Any further suggestions? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
