Others have pointed you at os.popen. In non-crippled languages, use processes (e.g. popen) when you wish to preserve the years of hard work that OS designers put into protected memory. Use threads only when you know why you want to abandon such and share all memory. 95% or more of the time when you're making the multiprocessing decision, threads are the wrong choice. 5% (or less) of the time they're indispensable. But if you're just looking for asychronous processing and don't know why you need to abandon memory protection, go with processes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
