Really? I know of at least one automated test runner (by this I mean it runs all the test files it can find) for pyunit that would say "everything is fine" if I through a random sys.exit(0) into my test script. Without parsing the output, there's not much else to look at but the exit code and by having the producer and consumer in the same process, the producer can easily set the exit code against the "will" of the consumer, F > Cheers, > > Adrian > -- > delicious.com/adrianh - twitter.com/adrianh - adri...@quietstars.com > > > >
