Hmmm. I’ll have to think on that. Kinda hard to avoid because I need to know the port number so I can feed it back to the client, and so I can tell the netcat process which port to start on. And it is possible that the port number might be grabbed by a subsequent request. Maybe I can do something hacky like keep track of recently allocated port numbers for a few seconds to give the netcat process time to start on that port. >> Also why are you not using the subprocess module? Because I want the netcat processes to be entirely independent of the Python server that spawns them, so I do a double fork. _______________________________________________ melbourne-pug mailing list melbourne-pug@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug
