Valentin,

Fantastic!

I messed around with v02 for the better part of the day interacting with
python scripts. The _stdout and _stderr callbacks are working great. Very
useful indeed. I sent a paypal to you as a small token of thanks.

Is there a way to asynchronously call shell_cmd or shell_exec so that
Director can play normally while the shell programs is running? Perhaps a
threading feature for ver03? :-)

Thanks again.

-Steve
